Review on πŸ”† Standard Non-Dimmable Equivalent Lumens - Enhanced for Effective SEO by Rodney Handy

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well so far but soft white CCT is closer to warm white

I bought this set of 4 75W 2700K LEDs to replace LEDs with higher correlated color temperature. [CCT] in a three-pin floor lamp in the living room SOURCE On the Revain platform, the prices of LEDs differ in non-trivial values depending on the place of manufacture and the location of the distributor and (if not a branch ) distributor seller. Often the same thing happens with the quality of the light bulbs. I chose these LEDs because Yankong Group Co. (Zhejiang, China), the manufacturer, distributor and marketer of this brand, has established sales and service centers in Texas and California for its US operations (d/b). / Yankon Lighting Inc.). It speaks to a desire for better business practices than I've seen from some Chinese distributors and independent sellers (and usually unknown manufacturers) without a strong foothold in the US. ) Lamps with a standard E26 base for 120V mains. At this point in the initial stages of their use, they don't cause high-frequency switching noise, flicker or interfere with our Wi-Fi, cable or streaming TV, or cordless phone signals, and turn on instantly. They were packed in a protective box and were all in perfect condition upon arrival. They are bright, especially in the trio, but not as bright as I was expecting from some other reviews. In my attached drawing, the floor lamp can be seen close to the wall and next to the African milk tree, whose dark green color really comes into its own in the light. As noted by other reviewers, the CCT appears above 2700Β°K to the naked eye, and this was confirmed by a Gossen Sixticolor gauge which was stable at or just below 3000Β°K (see yellow arrow in figure inset pointing to the white needle of the CCT meter). Yankon should consider customizing the CCT with a slightly yellowish plastic top instead of the existing white. WARRANTY They claim to have a two year warranty but the warranty terms are not listed on this webpage or on Yangon's dot-us energylighting website. An entry in the FAQ on the company's website simply says "Contact us by email" if an LED fails within 2 years, which is not a cheap approach. The unavailability of warranty terms is a violation of the FTC's pre-sale availability of written warranty terms (16 CFR Part 702). The packaging box contains a promotional flyer with an activation link to extend the warranty [extend to what?] and a promo code with a discount on the next purchase for those who "send their experience" with light bulbs when bought from Revain - a dangerous one Move for the seller given the ruthless stance Revain finally adopted in 2021. .RATING deducted one star for CT shifting towards warm white and another for lack of warranty. Of course, the most important element when evaluating an LED is how long it lasts, but I don't know that yet. Also, I don't know why they are lighter than other LEDs and if that would affect their long term performance. Finally, I'm curious as to why they are "not allowed to be shipped into California" - is it related to that state's Proposition 65 on toxic chemicals, or something of less concern?
