Review on ⚡ Efficient Dimmable Daylight Equivalent Replacement: Attaljus by Richard Cunningham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great replacement for halogen

Although I was originally sent the wrong size (78mm instead of 118mm) I am very happy with this purchase. The size and shape of this bulb is perfect for my ceiling fan and both bulbs worked great (checked the spare bulb). I use a dimmer so my old halogen bulb's normal setting was about half that and although it claims to be less bright than a 150w incandescent bulb the dimmer needs to be set even lower to give me about the same lighting to give in the room. . At full brightness, it is more than sufficient for my purposes. I hope it lasts at least as long as the halogen bulb that was originally installed 12 years ago and is still working. The bulb glows a little when the fan is turned on without the light on. According to Lutron, this is because some lamps aren't as compatible as others, but since there are few similar lamps out there (none locally), I'd rather live with appearances than go through a process of trial and error. If the bulb ever needs replacing I'll consider trying a different manufacturer, but if it's a long time coming I might just want to stick with the winner. If this becomes an issue or the bulb doesn't last as long as I expect I will update this review. Going back to a halogen bulb (don't turn on the lights and the rest of the house is LED) and will eventually replace the fan with something that uses regular LED bulbs. They're still great for any lamp that doesn't suffer from my Lutron fan/dimmer issue.

Pros
  • Wide range of uses
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
