Review on πŸ’‘ Vstar 120V Halogen Light Bulbs: Long-lasting & Energy-efficient Lighting Solutions by Keith Ostby

GREAT LAMP REPLACEMENT - works well with switches for high and low light settings

My under cabinet light is about 10 years old. I've changed blown lightbulbs so many times I've just given up. They cost more than headlights. They cost more than electrics. I took the last blown bulb to Home Depot - it was $8 each to replace. Lowes - 9.50 each. I only have 3 headlights but holy moth! I took the bulb to a lighting store where we bought flashlights. They had 3 packs at $30. Forget it. I don't need such bad lighting under the closet. Then I checked here on Revain. For real? 8 bulbs for the price of one? is this a joke? Illusion? No and no. Now I'm a little scared of starting a fire by leaving the under cabinet lights on knowing that this type of lamp tends to get hot. I chose a lower light/watt equivalent because my lamps have a high and low light switch on each lamp - mood lighting for a coffee pot of love I guess. Anyhow, it's great. They work well on both high and low settings in each of my lights, so I think they will work well if you have a dimmer or something. They are bright enough for cabinets as they are not my main lighting in the kitchen. I can't say anything about the durability yet, but I'm very satisfied with the pears, the fit and the price. One caveat: these bulbs last longer if you don't touch them with bare skin - always use rubber gloves when handling new bulbs. It was the advice of an electrician who told me that something in the oil on your skin would cause such a bulb to burn out faster. I'm not sure if that's true, but I put on a medical rubber glove just in case.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
