Review on FML27 65 QuadTube Compact Fluorescent by Nicole Green

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Started great but is now flickering; revised rating.

Not available locally so order here. Without trying to install it upside down first --- only works one way :) --- it fits perfectly. The light is very bright white; I usually prefer a slightly warmer light, but it gets the job done. Arrived quickly in good condition. Can't speak to durability yet (our previous replacement was from another company and was very short lived) but happy with this purchase and the company for now. REVISED: I lowered my rating. Yes I just wrote the previous one today after installing for a few days. Well it started flickering annoyingly this afternoon. Looking at the light, one of the 4 tubes has a black area near the end closest to the "plug". It's one of the outside lights, and it's on, but not fully on, and then suddenly ALL the lights start flickering, like someone is turning it on and off quickly. Very annoying; it is impossible to work under it and act like that. The device has been running for over an hour, so it's not "cold" and is still blinking.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
