Review on πŸ’‘ OPALRAY Non Dimmable Candelabra Incandescent Equivalent: Efficient Lighting Solution by Jason Spainhour

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable replacement with a caveat

I'm very happy with it. I used to have 15w incandescent bulbs in my holiday window candles and used these LEDs. No LED is an exact replacement for a traditional incandescent bulb, and they were slightly brighter than before. But they were fine with both relative warmth and brightness, plus I like the power savings. I had a strange crash with the product. After several evenings of use, I found that one bulb (which still lit correctly in the socket) had a cracked glass and in most cases was separating from the base due to stress cracking. That is, he left the innards of the burning LED fully exposed. I think it must be an accidental defect so I'm keeping it on hand as a short-term reserve. (The apparent security threat is real, so I would be interested in the seller's feedback on this unexpected experience. It looks like such a quality control issue deserves a responsible response, perhaps a friendly replacement.) Otherwise, I rate the product as a good practical solution for my specific application. Well packaged and shipped quickly too.

Pros
  • Eco-friendly LED light bulbs - no mercury, no flicker and no UV. 110-130 VAC Typical input power
Cons
  • From the mode
