Review on πŸ’‘ AC120V Bi Pin Dimmable Halogen Equivalent Bulb by Kris Wagner

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not as bright as expected

I bought these 75w equivalent G9 LED bulbs to replace several 25w halogen bulbs in a kitchen faucet. First, these lamps are advertised as being dimmable. Let me tell you it's not. They appear to have discrete levels of brightness when used with a dimmer. I swapped out my dimmer as it was too annoying to control the light that way. Next thing I noticed is that the light is no dimmer than the 25w halogen bulbs I replaced. If advertised as equivalent to 75w bulbs I would expect them to be three times brighter. They aren't lighter. There was no difference even after replacing my dimmer with a standard single pole toggle switch. Needless to say, they will be returned to Revane. I ended up going to Home Depot and found a different brand of lightbulb advertised as 60 watts. I bought them, installed them and found the brighter lights I was looking for. Do not buy these lamps.

Pros
  • β€» High brightness: 7W E11 LED bulbs replace 75-80W halogen bulbs, save 90% on electricity bill, 102 LED chips, high light output (720lm).
Cons
  • Very expensive
