Review on Yuiip Bi-Pin LED Landscape Bulb - Halogen Equivalent by Reginald Pitt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Happy with my choice after much research

I was really worried about them even though they are cheap. Here's what I found. For countertop lighting, they are very similar to the halogens they replaced. The color is soft and they are bright. What sets them apart from some others are a few things: 1) LED bulbs are rated on a CRI scale, which measures how well they color the objects they are designed to illuminate. It turns out that red is more difficult to illuminate since it is the least efficient color when using LEDs for illumination. It was a CRI of 80+ which is not bad. 2) They don't glow as well as halogens, but they come close. I assume that every LED lamp will have this problem. 3) I'm happy to report that with the Lurton dimmer I already had, they dim with no steps or flickering. This demonstrates good driver circuitry, which is important to light quality and lamp life. Compare them to incandescent bulbs, which have many LEDs. Given the limited space available I'm guessing you have lots of LEDs or a good driver circuit, I'll choose the latter. They hold up, but so far I'm happy with them. Updated 03/26/21. Of my original 10 lightbulbs, 2 have given up the ghost. I decided that the price didn't bother me. I bought 10 more bulbs as spares and none have burned out since.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
