Review on Brilliant Philips 416024 Landscape Lighting: Enlighten Your Surroundings with 18 Watt Power by Chef Buntiloy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Be careful: 50% of the bulbs in the new sealed package did not work.

Bought for lighting under cabinets in our kitchen. I believe 4 packs from Phillips cost $4.44? In any case, the first two I installed worked great. Third - no. So I tried the fourth. This didn't work either. So I took one of the first two lamps and put it in the third socket. It worked. So I put the third bulb in the open, second socket. That does not work. In summary, I tried every combination of bulbs 3 and 4 from the pack of three open sockets. Not a single bulb worked in any of the three sockets. 50% of the packaging turned out to be unusable. So are Revain and Phillips. Revain will direct you to Phillips Customer Service. It was a $4.44 package. I spent more time explaining the problem to a Phillips customer service representative than it was worth. She ended up wanting me to photograph the bulbs, photograph the sockets, try to find the model number of the lighting housing, etc. No thanks. Next time I'll just buy from your competitor. So if you REALLY need them, just go ahead and know it's more like $2.22 for a lightbulb because 1/2 of the pack might be dead on arrival. Thank you Philips and Revane!
