Review on 🌑️ Equus 8262 2-inch Electric Water Temperature Gauge - White, Aluminum Bezel by Lance Jenkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works perfectly. Make sure the part the sensor is screwed into is grounded!

The only downside to this unit is the lighting. The lamp housing that screws into the back interferes with the nut that attaches to the bottom, so you'll need to loosen that nut to mount the lamp. The included lighting is an incandescent bulb and you can either use the standard white light or put a green/red cap on the bulb to change the colour. While this system works, it is far from ideal. The lighting is rather weak and can only be seen in the evening/at night. Not necessarily a problem, but an LED would be a significantly better option. I'm ordering some 12v LEDs to replace incandescent bulbs and this should help me get a much brighter sensor and more color choices. So overall: A great budget sensor that's easy to install, but the backlight leaves a few things to be desired. be desired. Acceptable at this price point and with a little electrical engineering know-how you can easily make this sensor the equivalent of a device twice the price.
