Review on πŸ’‘ 6-Pack of BALDER Dimmable Halogen Replacement Bulbs by April Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good strong bulbs - as opposed to halogens.

These lamps are much better than halogen counterparts! We have only had problems with G9 halogen bulbs for 5 years. We have 11 lights in our master bathroom and we get scared every time a bulb burns out. G9 halogen lamps are fragile and glass fragments break off when the old lamp is removed. We have already had to replace 2 lamps because they just didn't work after the bulb went out. Even hired an electrician to try and fix it. Halogen bulbs get so hot I think they're just burning electrical components. These LED bulbs are much easier to put in the socket, do not heat up, do not flicker (except for the one that was in a loose socket) and have a pleasant color. When buying LED bulbs, I pay a lot of attention to the color, as I prefer warm colors. They are a little whiter than the old lamps. The only drawback is that they are a little less bright than the original. That's fine as I have different lighting in the room, but I would suggest switching to the next higher wattage bulb if you need light.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
