Review on πŸ’‘ Clear 40W Tubular Incandescent Light Bulb 4-Pack - Medium Base (E26), 120V by Gregory Popo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Danger! Do not buy!

Yesterday I replaced some old bulbs with these new ones. Within a few hours - in the middle of the night - one broke into pieces. The sound of broken glass woke me up. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. In the fog of sleep I thought about what had happened. someone broke in Did something fall? Stumbling in the dark trying to figure it out, I came across a pile of broken glass. It was a new bulb, only a few hours old. But why did it just shatter into pieces when the light was turned off? Needless to say, I barely slept the rest of the night. In the morning, after cleaning up the mess, the first thing I did was read the Revain review. It is very strange that the product can break spontaneously! Of course, there were a few other photos that were similar to mine. It seems that these bulbs are separate from the base. Most of these photos are hidden in 1 star reviews. One thing I noticed while cleaning was that the glass felt more like plastic. I compared the old bulb to the new one and there was definitely a difference in bulb weight and glass thickness. I used the "buy again" feature to purchase them, but there was clearly a bait and switch - they're vastly inferior to the previous version of this lamp. "Buy again" should not mean "get a completely different, crappy version of the product". Incidentally, old light bulbs have worked without any problems for many years. Summing up, judging by the reviews, this is a dangerous product with characteristic malfunctions. Luckily no one was hurt but I'm upset that I lost a good night's sleep. In addition, it was very difficult and dangerous to remove the base of a broken lamp from the socket. There was a risk of electric shock. Revane, I don't know what algorithm you use to scan reviews, but let me help: Dangerous! broken glass! Wound! Negligence! Legal action!

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
