Review on πŸ’‘ Klarlight GX24Q 4 Pin Recessed Daylight Bulb by Michelle Wright

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice lamps but they lack 5 stars!

These lamps claim 5 stars but are not rated. Lamps will last a long time. Instead, the seller replied that "the daily usage time of the lamp should not be too long". What does that mean? Cost the seller one star in my rating. The seller should rightly deduct 2 stars for this evasive answer. Aside from having no idea how long these bulbs can last, after about 5 minutes of using these bulbs out of the box they seem like good bulbs. Very bright (let's say 2400 lumens). They are used in the kitchen instead of 26W fluorescent lamps. They are MUCH brighter than the bulbs they replaced to provide excellent cooking light in the kitchen. 6000k color, a piercing white light that gently illuminates the task at hand. Exact instructions for removing the ballast and connecting your light for the bulbs. Rewiring by removing the ballast is so easy even a child can handle it. However, I would advise you to buy some BIG wire nuts. There are no wire nuts included with the bulbs. You will need to twist 5 wires together during rewiring, so the wire nuts will need to be fairly large to accommodate all of those wires. If you don't already have wire nuts in stock, it may be worth getting some when ordering. Your lightbulbs if your situation calls for rewiring. I replaced a GX24Q-3 lamp base but I understand that these lamps will replace any GX24Q or G24Q lamp so they are a good replacement for multiple grades and lamp wattages. IF these bulbs have a good lifespan then I might recommend them but since the seller dodged the expected lifespan of these bulbs I wonder how long they will actually last. Just in case they burn out prematurely, they come with a 12-month warranty. So if the seller stands by their guarantee, you should be able to use these bulbs for 1 year. If you are willing to risk durability then I would recommend these lamps. If you want to know in advance what lifespan you expect from the lamps you have bought, then you can look further and choose another brand, because the durability of these lamps can only be guessed at.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
