Review on ETOPLIGHTING Porcelain Splitter Adapter Wattage by Pop Henneghan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Significantly improved garage lighting. can be used in many unexpected, unobstructed places.

UPDATE: After the first one sat in the garage for a long time, I bought another one for my workshop. It seems to be the same quality as the original. Now the brightness of the light in the working room has been greatly improved by replacing the original compact fluorescent lamps with 4 LED lamps. However, it is recommended. === It arrived today. The nests appear to be some kind of ceramic, they are not thoroughly smooth and light like porcelain. The plastic base feels quite thick and coated, and overall the device feels quite heavy, which can be both a bad thing and a good thing. Overall, it seems pretty well built and sturdy for what it is. All of our ceiling diffusers are reasonably well mounted so weight is not an issue. Just don't expect to hang it from a cable or chain bushing. I tried placing it in several different locations before it got to the location it was ordered for as I wanted to see if it would make a significant difference in the basement. because of the air ducts near the fittings. Generally, do not expect a significant increase in light radius when there is an obstruction within approximately 5 feet of the outlet side. I currently use four medium sized CFL bulbs and in my basement spaced 6.5 feet apart they don't have much of an impact on my spacing due to the angle of the bulbs the fixture produces. although I think using them in the study rather than the checkpoint - just in case. So. After placing them in our garage (ceiling 8ft) where we only had one outlet, the light output improved significantly since there were no obstructions on either side. The angle helps the light radius get a much greater distance from the walls. and now the light illuminates the whole garage. That should help with the basic things I need to do with the car. while before that I couldn't even see well to charge the battery or change the air filter. Will buy another one for my office. I just wish there were two outside cone shell sockets for BR30 bulbs. If you have an unobstructed outlet where you need more light, grab this item and some LED bulbs from your local Dollar Tree store! Featured!
