Review on Sunlite PLD26 SP35K 26 Watt Fluorescent by Angela Patra

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DO NOT BUY. 7/10 LAMPS DIE IN TWO DAYS. Sunlight Support will NOT be replaced.

I read other reviews and thought these were just bad coincidences. Pictured (left) is a lightbulb that I replaced which I have used for 6 years with no problems and still works well. (middle and right) are sunlight bulbs that only worked for 2 days. I wanted 5000,000 daylight lights versus the 2700,000 amber lights that have been in my house for years. These bulbs died within two days. Replaced my old bulbs with the same wattage and pin headers. There must be a reason Sunlite is the only company selling 5000,000 with this power. I read that these lamps are a cheap Chinese brand that has a small fake office in New York. To produce 5000k light in fluorescent tubes they have to be manufactured to tighter tolerances and higher wattage, which is why not all major companies make 5000k fluorescent tubes with such low wattage. You are doomed to fail. I have contacted their company and they refuse to do anything about it. I'm going to buy slightly lower Kevin headlights from big brands and throw that junk away.

Pros
  • 3500K color temperature, soft white
Cons
  • Discontinued
