Review on πŸ’‘ Broan GU10 Halogen 120V 50W: Powerful Lighting Solution for All Your Needs by Anna Fetzner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good but doesn't shrink completely

While these bulbs seem perfect, good price and fast shipping, the supposed BROAN bulbs don't go deep enough into the sockets on my BROAN hood. insert and turn to the locked position. After trying many times to install and repair them, I finally compared them to the original 50W GU10 MR16 halogen bulbs in every way. I found all sizes to be exactly the same EXCEPT for the thickness of the lenses. Their lenses are approximately 1/32" to 1/16" thicker than the originals. The lenses hit the metal around the lamp hole before the lamps are fully seated in the sockets, preventing the pins from being fully seated so they can be rotated to the locked position. I'm sending them all back hoping I can find some with slightly thinner lens glass.

Pros
  • Easy to use
