Review on πŸ’‘ Dimmable Equivalent Replacement for MD Lighting by Heather Wilkinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice warm white. Perfect fit, flickering blackout

I have bought 3000 and 6000 g9s. The brightness of white is up to you. I think everyone has a slightly different taste with brightness. The fit is great, no issues and easy assembly. These aren't hot either - regular g9 75w halogens are hot! I have 6.2 per kitchen light - so the energy savings would be great! So they dim, but my problem is that when you first turn the device on, they flicker, regardless of whether the dimmer switch is in the minimum or maximum position. When turned on in low dimming mode, they will dim, bright and dim again. When the power is turned on, they will flash and go out until they settle. I ran the video with the lights off and the dimmer on full blast, I turned the lights on and you can see a flickering flash and then the light finally stabilizes. These are not cheap kitchen lights (Hubberton forges) and there is no such problem with regular 75w G9 halogen bulbs (they use up to 100w G9). I will contact the manufacturer to see if this is an anomaly or if they have a solution. This is the only reason for 4 stars
