Review on 💡 Dimmable Halogen Replacement for Candelabra Base Bulbs by Keegan Hillyer

First, the candelabra base is a few mm shorter than my representative halogen bulbs. It did not come into contact with the hot side of the device. So I unplugged the circuit and using a thin pair of needle tips slightly bent the hot side contact deep into the socket. it worked to get light output. Second, this type of lamp is used in ceiling fan lights and this lamp is LONG. At least 3 inches. Too long to easily fit with a glass dome. So I went ahead and made a slight bend in the sheet metal (the circuit went out again) and managed to fit it into the bracket. Thirdly, although this lamp is dimmable, it has a terrible pulsed light that gives the light a stroboscopic effect. Sure, that's probably 60Hz (half-wave rectification), but if you quickly put your hand in front of your face, you don't see a blurry, but confusing stroboscopic images. I can't stand flickering LEDs (cheap circuit). But the fourth and final straw was that I swapped out A<->B for my current halogen. No comparison. It's not even remotely equivalent to a 100 watt light bulb. A better option might be a 60W incandescent bulb. Weak. Too dark to be the main light in our room.
