Review on Enhance Your Space with the SYLVANIA SHOPLIGHT Direct Profile Application by Michael Thaxton

First, I'm an electrical engineer. I will tell you about my experience with this product. My father told me that the best lightbulbs I can get are from Sylvania. I trust his opinion which is why I bought the SYLVANIA LED Utility Shop Light 3 Ft ceiling light based on his experience with the company's products. easy to grow Cons: * Lasted just under a year, 11 months (24/7 in Northeast US) * LEDs literally gradually went out due to insufficient heat dissipation * Not as advertised as even closed for 50,000 hours life expectancy * Very light weight and cheap in the Manufacturing* Invisibly progressive failure as the lamp gradually dims as your plant starves. The reason I am disappointed with this product is because of the 50,000 hour claim. It doesn't say what the duty cycle is, such as: B. how many hours per day it takes to reach that number. generally in advertising. 0Let's say I use this lamp at full duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A year has 8760 hours. Based on the stated 50,000 hours of use, this lamp should last 5.7 years. However, I couldn't even work with this lamp for a whole year because she died at 11 months. I received a large number of soldered LEDs that fell to the bottom of the tube. I'm confident that with a slight improvement in heat dissipation, this Sylvania LED bulb will be much more reliable to reach the advertised 50,000 hours. I would be willing to pay more for it if it really met that requirement. Too bad this particular Sylvania product proved my dad wrong! I like to think he made great products in my dad's day so would recommend this brand. And so I couldn't even work 10,000 hours. Finally, I wish this lamp would just stop working when the light level dropped below 75 percent, instead of continuing to work and dimming while my kitchen plants suffer. Whatever it was, it makes an excellent night light. Apparently they don't make lightbulbs as reliably as my father remembered.
