Review on πŸ”’ Superior Waterproof Replacement Candelabra Chandelier Equivalent: Ultimate Durability and All-Weather Protection by Stephanie Young

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great LEDs with a big problem.

First off I would like to say that the light these LEDs produce at this price point is unmatched by anything else on the market. The LED is suspended in the center of the lamp, moves vertically in the bulb and emits a beautiful warm colour. It's also an exceptionally bright light, although warmer and much brighter than pure or cool white light, also didn't have any problems with greenish tin like I've seen with other warm LEDs. The only problem is that although these bulbs fit an E17 fitting, their base is much more like the bulb you'll find around your home, rather than the Christmas lights, which have a larger end at a point and stretch out. beyond the base. It's not a problem if you're using this on a new outlet, but if you're upgrading and replacing a line that already had a bulb screwed into it, the contact on the underside of the base is broken and won't make contact. with these. I've seen people come up with several solutions, you can buy a new empty jack lead and make replacement cords, another option is to melt some solder and leave a bead at the base to extend the contact, you can do this also with the jack wire disconnected, use a small single headed flathead screwdriver to loosen the copper contact from the base of the lantern to avoid squeezing it again. While these options may work for some, I don't have time to make it for 1000 lights and I was able to find some other Christmas lights that were inexpensive, not as bright, but came with a Revain lifetime guarantee. However these lights will work for those with a new set of sockets who are just starting out with a brand new attitude and the brightness will certainly please them, if that is you then I cannot recommend this product highly enough. The indicator on the left in both images is the light being viewed, and the light on the right in both images is another single-ended light that is more common in C9 Christmas lights.

Pros
  • VINTAGE STYLE LAMPS: Dimmable clear C9 LED lamps with E17 socket perfectly combine vintage style and LED efficiency, bringing industrial and vintage style into your home with modern LED technology.
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
