Review on 🌞 Crystal Daylight Outdoor Landscape Lighting Equivalent by Joshua Reese

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pins too thin Flickering Identical lamp from same supplier as another brand

Please note: your experience with this type of lamp is by definition dependent on the transformer used. Yours must not flicker and the contacts do not match, if so then you can bet 4 or even 5. This is not the seller's rating. There is a separate rating for this. A lamp is a lightbulb and I appreciate that. Rating a supplier instead of a product can be misleading. I'll stick with the product. Unfortunately someone saying it doesn't flicker OR saying it flickers is not a predictor. Testing these bulbs for bulbs that aren't rated for their light load is the ONLY way to be sure. Will work in some, not in others. However, the truth is that I didn't want to leave a review and just eat my mistake, but when I realized that it was the same lamp, sold by the same seller under two different names, that spurred me on. too much since my goal was to buy two different lightbulbs. My advice: if lightbulbs look vaguely similar, don't buy if you need a different lightbulb even if it looks like they are different. It may be the same lightbulb sold under different names by the same seller. I ended up buying the same lightbulb twice thinking two supposedly different sellers were selling different lightbulbs when in fact I found the lightbulbs were identical and both from the same company with the same @163.com email address and identical ones Packaging and labels came (even label printing). hey group It's really confusing for buyers who are forced to experiment with LED bulbs to see if one bulb flickers and another doesn't, selling the same thing with slightly different descriptions, one says no flicker, one doesn't and one in Pack 5 pieces. and another in a pack of 6. Be the customer, they will think they are different when they experiment to see if the lightbulb works. Independent competition in LED lamps? Wow, who would have thought? The first thing to note about the lightbulb is that the pins may be too thin for your lightbulb. They fell out and wobbled even with the lamp pointing up instead of down and I had to bend and bend them to keep them in the lamp. However, my original halogen 6.35 worked fine. The distance between the pins is normal. I was expecting a possible flicker. I wasn't expecting thinner pins. Pen thickness, flickering, sometimes switching to that lamp isn't worth the hassle. However, they work tight if you use needle nose pliers to bend the pin and make a kink. Easy enough to make when needed, not harmful to the lamp. Not a big deal, but I have to point out that some might be more concerned than I am. This light flickers. There are, of course, many transformers out there, but perhaps manufacturers should have been a little more careful to ensure that changing transformers doesn't introduce flicker variations (and for the buyer, stop saying "no flicker" when it might still flicker, no flicker means no flicker). , can't flicker in your bulb), even increase power consumption to fix the problem if that's the cause, rather than customers looking for the only LED bulb that doesn't flicker like it's their fault. Electronic transformers trip when there is no load and get confused when the load is very low. It's good that they turn off for a halogen bulb that bursts, but not so good for these new LED bulbs. The risk is higher if your lamp uses only one bulb. The risk is reduced as the same transformer powers more lamps and draws more watts (as I am learning). As for the pins, it's hard to say who's to blame, other than the variety of bulbs is incredible, and now we have a difference in the thickness of the pins on top of all the other complexities. I now suspect that any 4 watt LED bulb in my lamp will flicker, but my frustration is that I've never had a chance to experiment. It was the same lamp, only sold by the same supplier under different brand names. Who would have thought that this is the same lightbulb? Of course, I just drew attention to the image of Revain placing two lightbulbs next to each other as different. You think everyone would do that. A NOTICE. I've tried a few more bulbs of this type and some of them flicker less than this one, but none of them flicker at all and the flickering can come and go because the wattage is way below specs. Likewise they should try to prevent this from happening (not sure how it's done in Revain but it's done with regular 75 watt bulbs (e.g. Westinghouse, GE) never bothered me buying the same , but LED lamp brands are rarely listed), although with the same email extension, same packaging, same label, same label seal, I kinda doubt the suppliers aren't the same company.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
