Review on Satco S8410 36 Inch 25 Watt Instant by Whitney Buckley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Insufficient brightness

Fluorescent bulbs arrived on time, well packaged, all bulbs worked properly. However, please note the following before placing an order. The 36 inch size is not standard and available in local HD/Lowes/Ace stores, so replacing the bulb is not easy. Second, make sure you understand the difference between "warm white", "cool white" and "daylight". For the kitchen I ordered "Warm Light" and gave an orange tint at 3000K and was quite disappointed (check out the video showing the difference. I am currently replacing it with a Satco S8435 36" which is a 6500 K daylight is Last point to understand that the temperature of fluorescent lamps is between 2100 K and 7000 K. The higher the "K”, the brighter and therefore more expensive Finally, you should be aware that the return of bulbs is a hassle and sometimes the return shipping costs make it uneconomical to ship back.

Pros
  • Style: Transition Light Type: Bulbs
Cons
  • Outdated
