Review on πŸ’‘ Enhance Your Chandelier with the Candelabra Adapter Converter! by Robert Xayamonty

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Value is what I love

Updated to include pictures of my Hue in adapters. Without them, my living room wouldn't have the expensive Philips Hue starter kit I bought since my ceiling fan had candelabra mounts. (E12). Candelabra bulbs are great for quirky decor that doesn't need a lot of light, but I really like the A26 lead bulbs and the light output they offer. I had a choice between this set and another brand that I wasn't familiar with. a dollar cheaper. Since I've bought a set of Lightning Ever light bars before and they still work great, I paid a dollar for peace of mind. I read multiple polarized reviews of these types of products for each brand so I wasn't sure what I was going to get. Looks like I got lucky. Here's what struck me: they all seemed to work well and provide reliable contact. with full size bulbs. I've read some reviews that said some people had to bend some of the pins to make good contact, but I haven't experienced this and haven't had to. Before I put 3 very expensive lightbulbs in these converters, I put in some regular LEDs to make sure everything was ok. After 2 weeks everything was great, so I continued with the Hue multicolored bulbs. Knock on wood, they work well and I've saved $50-$100 by not having to buy another attachment for my fan. If you factor in hassle, time and work, it saved me more than that. The way I see it, you either have to spend money on research, time, effort and money to change the lighting attachment from the base of the candelabra to a 'normal' one. ", or you can buy and use converters. I chose option 2 and haven't regretted it yet. I still trust LE, but will update my review if anything changes. Whatever you do, be careful , read the reviews carefully and I would suggest going with the bulbs you don't need with the converters first to make sure the converters don't burn out your expensive bulbs prematurely out of money.
