Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Not Dimmable Bi Pin Halogen Bulbs - Equivalent to Standard Bulbs by Sheryl Lockwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very bright, excellent color balance

I bought these bulbs to replace an old, weak bulb in the hood over the stove in my camper van. My goals were simple: (1) brighten the cooking area on the stovetop (2) maintain a good color balance in the room. I must say that these lamps have proven themselves excellently. I installed it in my cooker hood and the difference from the old lamp was like night and day. They are lighter and have a more pleasant color. I really like the 3000K color balance. I used to try 2700K but it was too yellow and I don't like cold white (5000-6000K) because it's too sharp, almost blue. These lamps (3000K) offer the perfect balance. One interesting thing about these lamps is that they have internal electronics (a bridge rectifier I think) to provide the correct DC polarity for the LEDs. So there is no + or - connection, you can connect them either way and they work fine. It should also be noted that these lamps are not dimmable. For me it was no problem. I use them over the stove and want them to be either ON or OFF. I'm not trying to create a special cooking atmosphere by dimming the lights. So my summary: These LED lamps have met or exceeded all of my expectations, I am satisfied with them and would buy them again.
