Review on πŸ”¦ Bioluz LED Dimmable Retrofit Recessed Industrial Electrical Lighting Components: A Comprehensive Review by Ronald Messina

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great upgrade for glow cans.

I am very happy with these Bioluz upgrade kits. Replace the rest of my old bulbs with these. It doesn't matter that all 8 bulbs use a little more energy than a 75 watt incandescent bulb, the light they put out is much better. This will save you money and look a lot better. What I don't like: The Sylvania bulbs I had were rated at 2850K, which is right in the middle of Bioluz's warm white and soft white substitutes. I chose Bioluz' soft white (3000K) and am happy with my choice. They seem a lot brighter despite being rated at 75W equivalent, and they dim so smoothly that I can set any mood in the room from watching the show and anywhere in between. My dimmer got quite hot even at lower light levels, with Bioluz bulbs I can dim them to near zero for hours and not heat up the dimmer at all. The installation is very easy. I swapped out 8 lamps in about 40 minutes because I was lugging around an extra ladder and tripod to prep footage for my review video. I think I could replace all 8 in 20 minutes if I just put them in. It's almost as easy as changing a light bulb, it takes an extra minute or two to remove the decorative ring from an existing glass and install the Bioluz kit. And yes, in the video I said "open the spring and remove the can" and it was a patch ring for the can, not the can. My mistake. I was a little worried they wouldn't work well with my 15 year old dimmer switch. This is the type that has the slider right next to the slightly narrower switch, but those fears have not materialized. They dim better than the bulbs they replaced. They go seamlessly from full brightness to full brightness and anywhere in between, and there's no annoying high-pitched hum from the lights that I've experienced with other "dimmable" LED bulbs. All in all it's a fantastic replacement for old incandescent bulbs and costs about the same as an LED replacement bulb that fits in a jar but looks a lot more modern and cleaner. There's no reason not to love these Bioluz lights. Grab the pack and try it yourself, you won't be disappointed.
