Review on πŸ’‘ 10-Pack 20MR16/FL - BAB -20 Watt - Flood- 12V - MR16 - GU5.3 Bi-Pin Base - Light Bulb With Lens - 20W MR16 - Top Quality & Value Offer by Borris Mcgee

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Potentially illegal product - Terrible build quality

Ordered 10 50w bulbs and 10 35w bulbs from seller. I received 20 50w bulbs but the shipping error did not affect the rating. The only good thing about these lamps is the price. I have yet to determine if the longitude is good. However, the following negative features were noticed when unpacking and installing: β€’ All 20 bulbs had dirty lenses. Some of the dirt was outside, but almost all of the dirt was inside the glass where it couldn't be cleaned. The photos uploaded with this review, the ones in the dark, show this. I have also shown a photo next to the Philips lamps to demonstrate the opacity of the glass of this lamp. β€’ Beam angles do not match. Some are wider β€’ Color temperature or light output mismatch. Even in daylight you can see in the attached image some of them are brighter. Worse, the brightest are in the brightest part of the room, and their difference is even more noticeable in the dark. β€’ These lightbulbs are manufactured at an unknown location. As far as I know it's LAWLESS for electrical components. The country of origin is not indicated on the packaging or on the back of the bulb. β€’ In addition to the last point, the manufacturer's name is not indicated anywhere on the bulb or packaging. There is no company name anywhere. It is also against the law for all electrical components. β€’ To make matters worse, the lamps (without manufacturer information) are not UL or CE listed. So, despite the enthusiastic comments of others, remember that you are buying dirty lamps with inconsistent wattage, color temperature, and beam angle from a seller who does not disclose who and where the product was made. To be honest, I don't understand how Revane could have let this happen.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
