Review on Bringing Daylight to Your Microwave: Non-Dimmable Industrial Electrical Appliance by William Chavez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So bright. I wouldn't like it any brighter

I am very satisfied with these lamps. I use them in the light built into the microwave above the oven area. I tried other LED bulbs before but they weren't bright enough. Not this one. They're almost too bright. However, there's only one thing I don't like. They flicker a bit when I set the device to low brightness. I can tell they are essentially blinking at 60Hz. If I wave my arms underneath, there's a strobe effect. I can't blame the lightbulb. Unfortunately, such lighting fixtures often simply rectify the power supply. Thus, power is supplied to the bulb for only half of each AC cycle. It would be nice if this bulb had a way to smooth out the ripple and reduce flicker, but then it would probably be too big to fit in the fixture. No big deal, I don't need that dimming feature anyway.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • No effect
