Review on AmScope BH 6V20W Halogen Bulb Microscopes by Devon Holmes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

unusual bulb but blew out in less than 1 week

I use a Fisher MicroMaster II microscope at work and needed a spare bulb (6v 20w very hard to find bulb). Fischer wore it, but at 3 times the price, so I ordered this lamp instead. It buzzed when I used the dimmer and smelled like smoke for the first 2-3 hours. Carl Zeiss lamps from Fisher are more expensive but worth the money in my opinion. It's also possible that it was just a mess. All in all I would probably hesitate to buy one of these lamps but if money is important then go for it.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later
