Review on SRRB Replacement Landscape Paradise Moonrays Industrial Electrical by Vanessa Campbell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Glow is close to halogen but not quite

I got some relatively cheap street lamps from a big store. I purchased replacement 7W 80 lumen T5 bulbs from Revain (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043CQJ7O/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and was pleased with the warm glow that sufficiently lit areas need light . What I didn't like was how often I had to change blown bulbs. Based on the good reviews for this product, I figured that a 1.5W warm white LED would be a suitable replacement for halogen bulbs. The image of "warm white" light in the product description is slightly more yellowish than the light emitted by the bulbs I received. The light on the right is the original halogen bulb, the light on the left is the new LED bulb. They are of course brighter - I can move the lamps further apart. I love how the LEDs are in a sealed cap, hopefully this will result in a longer lifespan than unsealed bulbs. The low operating temperature of the LED bulbs allowed me to apply silicone grease to the socket to prevent moisture ingress and corrosion. While not an exact match, I would recommend a 1.5 watt "warm white" bulb as a replacement for 7 watt halogen bulbs. Starting with 5 stars I hope I don't have to revise this review to reset all stars. The second picture was taken with the glass mount removed (bare bulbs) - what is interesting is how the LED bulb causes shadow lines when the glass mount cover is in place (due to refraction of light through the glass), while the halogen bulb does not. no
