Review on πŸ’‘ Sterl Plug-In Bathroom Fluorescent Lighting by Matthew Fadoul

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well but not a perfect replacement for PLT-26 type CFL bulbs

Here is my rating Positive:1. Arrived on time 2. It works.3. It's cheap Cons: 1. The shape of the CFL lamp was 3 parallel tubes, not triangular tubes like the original Philips type PLT-26 CFL lamp. It is different from the advertised image.2. I even thought that 4100K bulbs glowed much whiter (or colder) than 4100K. Placed next to the original, the original is 4100K warmer (more yellow). I would rate these lights at probably 5000K+ which is much better for garages but not indoors. Since the GX24q-3 type base is very difficult to remove I have chosen to keep it and not return it for a refund. But if you want the perfect replacement, it might be worth checking out the lamps from the brand mentioned. I am rating this item 3 stars because the items received do not match the description and the picture posted. See attached picture. On the left the original PLT-26 lamp. Lamp received on the right.
