Review on πŸ’‘ 1.5W 12VDC LED Mini Spotlight Twin Pack - Cold White (Power Supply and Junction Box Not Included) by Mitch Garrido

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks well built but the actual lighting is poor.

I have added two photos to this review labeled original and edited contrast. My phone camera isn't that good so I tried my best to show the problem I'm having. It looks high quality, however the "warm light" option doesn't match the color. You may not be able to see all three colors here despite the contrast being adjusted, so think about your eyes. You have a black pupil, a colored cornea, and the white part of your eye. These lights for the "warm light" version look exactly like the eye. In the center, which takes up about 10% of the light, is a darker yellow. There is a white halo of light around it that makes up about 20% of the light, and then the last 70% of the light fades to no light at all, a calm, warm light. You have the option to dim and brighten the light, but the hues and their percentage remain the same. Kind of a bummer to be honest. I would say you could probably put in a colored piece of glass to help, but that would most likely only be 3 different shades of the color I would choose as it doesn't affect the saturation of the color. is the intensity of the light. I originally bought 4 packs of Warm Lights for the acrylic display case but they are too big for it. That's all my fault, not the company that makes them. I won't bother returning them as I don't worry too much about shading, I'm smart and can think of other uses for them. I've read that other customers have complained about how the remote turns some of their IR devices on and off, but fortunately none of mine are affected. I only took them out of the box to check how they look and I can say they get hot at 100% brightness. I only wore it for 30 minutes and it felt warm but didn't sting my skin. However, I suspect that they actually do get hot if left on for a few hours. Although they are small, this light is very bright at 100% intensity. I tested the intensity, flash, strobe and smooth function, which is a slow dimming and brightening with the option of 5 second intervals. I can't tell how these lamps look in any other style as I only have warm white. But I'm giving it 3/5 stars because I'm sure there are others for the price that can perform much better while maintaining light intensity. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Had the remote interfered with my devices I would have given this review 1/5 stars just because I was annoyed, but I think I'm lucky in that regard.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • Something is wrong
