Review on 💡 Helloify BR30 Color-Changing LED Bulb 2700K-6500K by Manuel Gfx

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The lamp failed at just 0.3% or less of the minimum usage rating!

I am very disappointed with my purchase. I bought 4 of these lamps and one stopped working after only 3 months. It almost does not glow and flickers very badly. They are rated for at least 30,000 hours of normal use and I only have minimal use. I would be happy if it even used 90 hours and it was only used at 60% brightness on the white setting. It is not used once a day, and on the days it is used, it is used for several minutes each. What's even more frustrating is that it's sold by Revain so I can't even contact the seller to see if they would be willing to send a replacement bulb because it's defective. Ironically, I usually prefer to buy things that are "sold by Revain" for a number of reasons, but I don't think I've ever considered the downsides of such a situation. It's even weirder that everyone at Revain who has to stand behind what they sell or stand behind defective products, you think it's Revain, but I know how to get help in 30 days. Which is obvious in this case as they are rated to last a minimum of 30,000 hours and my failure rate is not only low but very short. Being generous, I got maybe 0.3% of that if you count. However, it looks like I wouldn't have $18-20 for a broken light plus $35-40 to buy a replacement since they are sold in sets of two. Also, I have them in sets of 4 at home, so I don't have enough light without all 4 bulbs. So I have to either buy another one or get a completely different set of 4. It just doesn't seem fair, especially for something Revain sells. On the other hand I would really like and recommend lightbulbs if not one that would have blown very early on. Which also makes me nervous about spending more money on another set, especially when I didn't even have to start with this one. Overall just very disappointed!
