Review on πŸ’‘ Industrial Equivalent Pack of Mini Spiral Watt Electrical Bulbs by Yvette Gonzalez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I am not satisfied with these pears!

I moved into a brand new apartment last year. All lights use these two-pin bulbs. I was glad Revain picked them up as they are not easy to find in stores. I wasn't happy going back to CFL bulbs because I'd been using LED bulbs (which weren't available in 2-pin designs at the time) for a while. In terms of brightness, these lamps were ok. You need a long time to warm up the first time and then a moderate time to warm up afterwards. These are certainly not instant-on bulbs. My biggest complaint (besides the difficulty of installing them) is that they don't last long. I had one burn out within a month of installing it. I thought yes, sometimes there is a defective light bulb in a batch. However, another one burned down a few days ago. It didn't even last a year, let alone the nine years it says on the box. Then another one burned down today. I leave the lights on longer than the three hours per day stated on the box, but since the watch is meant to run I expect it to last at least a full year. I am not at all happy with these lamps!

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
