Review on πŸ’‘ AC120V Dimmable 30 35W Halogen Equivalent: Unparalleled Lighting Efficiency in One Package! by Dawson Schmidt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as expected except for dimming

I have installed them in reading lamps on swing arms above the bed. The bulbs that came in had thicker wires than these so I had to bend them a bit to keep them in the socket but they seem to work fine. I think if someone shakes the lights they might fall out, but since they aren't hot I'm not too worried. The lights have a switch for bright and dim light. On a low setting, the bulbs flicker slightly, so if brightness is important you can skip it. I don't use this feature and they are fine in bright light. The light isn't as bright as the halogens before it, but the light is a purer white, so acceptable. I would say they look more like a 20w halogen than the 35w halogen in the description. Overall I'm happy with it, but to be honest I might try a different strain next time to see if they darken better.

Pros
  • Caution: β‘ This LED bulb operates on 110-130V AC, DOES NOT WORK on 12V or 240V. β‘‘ Requires an LED compatible dimmer to control brightness. Since most applications use an old dimmer that doesn't work well with LED bulbs, this G4 LED bulb may flicker at max dimming/low setting. β‘’ Note. Make sure you choose the right size.
Cons
  • Requires socket
