Review on πŸ”† EcoSmart Dimmable Reflector Recessed Light Bulb Replacement by Liz West

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Didn't last more than a month

I have 9 lightbulbs on a circuit in my kitchen. I have had LEDs for over 10 years. They started sucking as the kitchen is very busy. The lights were great. They lasted many thousands of hours. Well, my original manufacturer stopped making the branded light, so I found good reviews on ecosmart and decided to buy a dozen BR30 soft white dimmable light bulbs. I installed them and got a dimmable LED switch to control them. They worked for over a month then started flickering or one of the nine dimmed on its own without me touching the switch. I removed the headlights and found that they are two different model numbers even though I bought them in the same order. I decided it was worth buying another set with all the correct model numbers and bought another set of 12. I received a set with the same model. I installed them and they worked flawlessly for 30 days. When dimming or exiting, the problem started again and then again. I couldn't read anywhere on any website which switches work with these lights. Since I didn't need dimming, I put one of my inexpensive Levitons on top of the switch. Worked for 1 week and the problem started again. I received a full refund for my headlights after no one could tell me if my switch was causing the problem or if the headlights were actually defective. Disappointing.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
