Review on πŸ”Œ Simpo Converter Adapter: Streamlined Conversion in Parallel by Kevin Carr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well, only compatible with GX23 dual-tongue CFL base (not single-tongue CFL base)

I bought 4 packs and they all worked fine. Great quick fix to switch from CFL to LED. Gravel removal is not difficult in DIY projects. I used it on a recessed CFL light. If you want to beautify the look you can add an LED retrofit kit (the downside is you have to replace the entire kit if the bulb burns out) or you can get a new finish/housing to match the size/type. the lightbulb you intend to use (and then in the future you will have to buy a lightbulb of the same size if it burns out). The fixture should have screws to adjust the depth of the base. What is confusing is that the product image shows two different adapters. To be clear, this comes with a GX23 DOUBLE tab adapter. (See photo). It's the one on the left in the photo. If your CFL lamp base only has 1 tab and looks like the adapter on the right then it will not fit.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
