Review on πŸ’‘ Banord Commercial Candelabra LED Incandescent Replacement by Frank Webster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not what is advertised.

Apparently there is no QC for this product: some buyers write in reviews that the bulbs are too bright, that the color is 4000K, some vice versa. The lamps are 0.9 W, very weak compared to the real 200 Lm (see photo, on the left there are two such lamps, on the right a real 200 Lm LED from Costco). About 4 times less light. Color 2500K, very warm. As a result, the light sources vary in brightness/color. I asked for a replacement thinking I received the wrong item (0.9W is printed on the bulb itself, which is confirmed by measurement). No, the second time I got exactly the same. Another fun thing is their electronics. They appear to switch power (e.g. when dimming) even if they are not included in the dimmer circuit - see second photo. ALL the lights are on! I lowered my camera's exposure to capture the difference in brightness and saw these strange bands. You can't see them in real life or at higher shutter speeds, but funny anyway, I've never seen anything like it. Generally YMMV. They didn't suit me - too boring. For some they may be ideal as they are low powered. But I definitely don't support the wild deviations of the declared properties from the real ones, hence 1 star.
