Review on ๐Ÿ’ก 1.5W 12VDC LED Mini Spotlight Twin Pack - Cold White (Power Supply and Junction Box Not Included) by David Stover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good value for money but could be better. . . Read please !

Good for the time being -1.) Definitely compact.2.) Bright enough for its size, a total of 6 lamps attached to the transformer. 4.) The included screws and 3M adhesive pads are handy. Neutral -1.) They are listed as warm white. They appear warm on the "white" side, probably 3000K by my reckoning. This can make things look a little edgy. If you want something that looks warmer (like a regular lightbulb) get a piece of Lee 809 Zircon Amber Warm White 8 gel paper or similar. Defect. It responds to signals from the remote controls of certain brands of TVs and cable boxes. So changing the channel on your TV can cause your LEDs to blink. . . . lighten, darken or switch off completely. Very annoying! The remote control itself has several dark blue buttons with black lettering. This makes the keys very difficult to read. 2.) If you shine them on a white surface you will find that they emit a white beam but there is a noticeable dark yellow spot in the center of the beam. Depending on what you want to cover, this can be a deal breaker. I believe it has to do with the lens itself which seems to reflect the yellow tint on the front of most white LEDs. When you take out the lens, the yellow goes away, but the focused beam also goes away. Summary. It's good value, but it would be BIG value if it eliminated the yellow "hot spot" that they design and deliver. them with a remote control that was not based on infrared.
