Review on πŸ’‘ Dazzlingly Versatile: Dimmable R7S Bulb 78mm by Bonlux by Omar Svagera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First halogen I replaced and VERY impressed

I took a chance buying this to replace the tripod halogen as there wasn't much to say about efficiency. It's rated for the equivalent of 100 watts and I have to say it actually works very well. The light is very white and was an easy replacement for the halogen which I no longer used as it was 150 watts and got very hot. I left the LED on for about 15 minutes and it was warm. The halogen burns hot after 1 minute. I didn't have to modify the base light in any way, it was easy to replace. Since the tripod is 1.80 m high and reflects the light up to the ceiling, it illuminates the room very well. The dimming range also convinced me. So for a table lamp, which I've been considering giving up, a welcome and much appreciated lamp replacement with significantly lower power consumption and a bright white light at that. (Warm white is more yellow, cold white is whiter, cold to light if that helps). Also, it came from China much faster than the usual 4 weeks I'm used to, so thanks for the fast shipping. Can't comment on durability but based on the quality I've seen firsthand I'd be surprised if it rated less than.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
