Review on πŸ”† Non-Dimmable Cotanic Replacement Daylight Ceiling by Ken Gray

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits and works perfectly with our (fan) lighting kit

During a renovation, our electrician's assistant accidentally (hopefully!) swapped out the existing wiring for our ceiling fan and lighting kit, causing the fan to turn on when we turned on the light switch. However, when we turned on the fan switch, it briefly illuminated the non-dimmable CFLs, then immediately burned out both bulbs. Don't worry, that's why we keep spare bulbs in a box in the garage. The only problem is that the bulbs that burned out had a GU24 base and I didn't have any spares because who expects a GU24 base?! Fan mounted lighting kits can have severe space constraints and I didn't want to find the adapter and bulb combination exceeding that limit so I looked around for a couple of GU24 base bulbs. I was about to go to my local hardware store to buy them but thought it might be difficult to get an actual lamp length measurement so I started looking for them at Revain, found the ones that seemed to have great reviews - and were 0.1 inches longer than the old bulbs so I figured I'd play it safe and buy them. As usual the bulbs came out after a few days, I installed them and they work exactly as expected. To be honest they are a bit whiter than I wanted. , but the reality is that this house is running about 7 different color temperatures at any one time, so making something that perfectly matches anything else is a silly idea. Disclaimer: I received a card for a free night light/charger in the box of bulbs when I emailed the seller. I asked my wife if she would like a night light/charger and she said yes so I emailed the seller. The seller kindly asked if I would leave a review for these lamps and send a night light/charger. While the promise of a night light/charger (which I can take or leave, I assure you) didn't alter the positive nature of this review, it *really* motivated me to leave a review (while the lack of a suggestion I would have probably left none because what, I mean, who checks the lightbulbs?!). In any case, I understand if you feel that this night light/charger compromises my impartiality and would like to downgrade my rating accordingly.

Pros
  • ✦ Bulb GU24 4000K Daylight-4000K Daylight is the best choice for home lighting as it is brighter than warm white 2700K and softer than daylight 5000K. The combination of two color temperatures comes close to natural morning light and ensures a subtle and bright lighting effect in your home. Glare-free GU24 bulbs protect your eyes from fatigue.
Cons
  • Obsolete Model
