Review on 🌑️ Equus 8442 2-5/8" Mechanical Water Temperature Gauge - Premium White Finish with Sleek Aluminum Bezel by Darrin Lucas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Slow reading, bad backlight at night

It looks clean and fits well, pretty easy to install. CONS, it seems that reading requires a sweet time. It's accurate, it's slow to sense temperature change, once it starts running it keeps running, but after a cold start you have to wait a while. Another minus, the backlight is barely visible at night. What's more, it doesn't even light up. The top part shines brighter than the bottom even when reaching it. This is my 2nd and I had the same issues with the first one. I'll try an LED lightbulb to see if that helps, but I don't think they make it that small. Also, this is a regular product, the claimed clearance could be improved and this would be ideal.
