Review on πŸ”Œ Sterl Lighting – 8W T5 G5 Mini 2 Pin Base Under Cabinet Straight Tube Light Cool White 400Lm 11.33 Inch 120/220V Fluorescent Bulbs Replacement Long Life F8T5/CW White 4100K – 8 Pack by Amy Perry

Slippery Green and Burning Out Hot

UPDATE: After 18 months all of these bulbs have been replaced but the previous bulbs last 8-10 years on the same cycle - they're not all gone. When one of the lights went out, a patch on the ceiling melted. This time the team at Revain's Choice didn't choose so well. These tubes are a hassle to install and the color is not very pleasing, at least to me. Firstly there are no rivets on the ends so it was very difficult to screw the tubes into the lamp. When they're so small there's nothing to hold on to and you'll have to deal with a spring-loaded socket. The copper pins on these pipes appear to be slightly larger in diameter, which may have contributed to the problem. These tubes are designed to be inserted with a small wrench (see photo) which I don't have (I don't like plugging metal tools into sockets). these pipes. I was expecting a bluish or daytime shade. Standing next to my other lamps he made the wall green - no there is no yellow pigment in my paint and nothing yellow is projected or reflected onto the wall and the photo has never been retouched or corrected. It really looks like it.
