Review on AmScope BH 6V30W Halogen Microscope Bulb by Tanya White

Revainrating 1 out of 5

burned out after only 3 hours of use - be careful!

I bought this product to replace the lamp in my laboratory optical microscope. I bought it in August 2016 and in the last 4 months the bulb has been used for a maximum of 3 hours, but yesterday (January 2017) it burned out. That's a terrible lifespan considering my previous lamp lasted 4 years with the same level of use. I'm not going to be that generic lightbulb anymore and recommend sticking with the brand name if you need one too.

Pros
  • Tools and household items
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
