Review on Durable and Efficient: Familite Dimmable πŸ”Œ 200-250W Halogen Replacement, Perfect for Any Lighting Upgrade by Nick Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good replacement for 150w halogen bulbs

I have 5 x 30w warm white bulbs for my basement ceiling lights. Fast delivery, good packaging, all bulbs work perfectly. I replaced my 150w halogen bulbs with 8w led bulbs a few years ago but have never been satisfied. They were supposed to be warm white but were on the blue side and they weren't bright enough at the highest dimmer setting. They also got bluer as you darkened them. These 30 watt bulbs have a nice 3000K lumen output, are very bright, fully dimmable but don't turn blue. They are almost as bright at minimum dimming as my old 8 watt LEDs at maximum dimming. I don't think it puts out the 250-300 watts that some of the 30 watt LEDs claim, but it certainly seems like a good 150 watt equivalent. I've tried other 30w bulbs with the same specs except they ran from 85-265v while these ran at 110v. The others don't dim smoothly either. They jump from very dim to full brightness fairly quickly. These 110V devices are very consistent in their dimming range. A bit expensive. Would I buy again but hopefully survive!

Pros
  • Excellent performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
