Review on 🔦 RV LED Interior Spotlight with Switch - 12V Reading Light for Bedside, Boat, Yacht, and Caravan - Professional Flexible Wall Light - Top Quality Exquisite Design (Long-Nickel) by Israel Thurow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice solid design, the best in Power & Electrical

Good thing that won me over. (to get 4) first was the price, second was the smart switch, third was the supposed "96 hour salt test". Salt tests are used to validate claims of seaworthiness. In the US and EU we have strict standards. The claim to this product is not transparent. The type of base metal used is not specified. "Nickel color" can just mean nickel plated - or in this case probably nickel plated. A 96 hour soak in superchlorinated water is a good test of smokiness. We do not know. My questions were ignored. I asked for an IP (IngressProtection) number for the electronics. ignored. Obviously this LED is not encapsulated like all marine LEDs. Also, the copper wire is not tinned, which usually causes it to corrode quickly in saline environments. ………… From a constructive point of view, the mounting base should be larger and given the handling (orientation) expected for a lantern, should have three screws, not two. , and much larger. The included #4 screws are ridiculous, should be at least #8. ………… The inside of the mount doesn’t look secure. It rusts from the inside. No sea lantern. It should be stainless steel. …………. The price has gone up since the good reviews here. I've noticed that this is quite common on Amazon. Not worth 30€! ebb
