Review on πŸ’‘ Non-Dimmable Halogen-Like Microwave Appliance Bulb by Manuel Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good lamps for NON DIMMING applications (multiple lamps on-off) -- color temperature?

Some microwave ovens have an electronic dimmer to light the hob. Both are top notch devices. Both of these units use a dual bulb system that allows one or both bulbs to be turned on, but does NOT electronically dim the bulbs. The color temperature is a bit higher than I'd like - I'm guessing closer to 4000K than 3000K, but it's definitely lower (warmer) than most LEDs. The photo shows a comparison with conventional G4 submount halogen bulbs, you can see the LEDs are clearly "whiter" but not bad at all. DO NOT install in any fixture that uses an electronic dimmer or has a "theatrical" effect. 'Lighting. You can burn the dimmer circuit components in your microwave oven. When in doubt, spend the extra money and buy dimmable lightbulbs. If you want a color temperature to match your existing halogen bulbs, look (or wait) for them to arrive in the 2700K version.

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
