Review on πŸ’‘ Dual End Powered Daylights: Romwish Equivalent - Enhancing Brightness and Efficiency by Brett Lowe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

REPLACEMENT TUBE PERFECT FIT

There are two problems with these tubes: 1) The white end caps do not fit the tubes. When I tried to remove the protective cover from the pins on a pipe, the end cap came with it. Luckily the wiring wasn't damaged. I pressed the end cap again and the light still works. I held each end cap very gently while removing the remaining pin guards. 2) The bigger problem (and reason for the 2 stars) is that these tubes are 3/16 inch (5mm) shorter than the original tubes they replaced. When tubes are inserted into tombstones, the tube slides to one tombstone or another, leaving a large gap at the other end and losing contact with the tombstone. I have two different lamps. Both had the same problem. Once I was able to put spacers behind the tombstones to bring them closer together so the tube wouldn't lose contact. Another mount required me to add rubber grommets to each end of the tubes to keep them from sliding to one end of the mount or the other and losing electrical contact. I will leave them, but I do not recommend these tubes. Update 07/18/2018: Romwish contacted me via email. They sent a set of replacement hoses that fitted perfectly. It's nice to do business with a company that cares about their customers. Now I can recommend these tubes.
