Review on 💡 Bathroom Lighting GU24 Brightness by Makergroup by Lori Sanders

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They match Panasonic bathroom fans!

I bought these because both CFLs had died in a 2 year old Panasonic fan (FV-08-11VFL5) in our bathroom. It can be difficult to find bulbs (CFL or LED) to match these fans as the bulb sockets require a tapered (U35) version of the U24 bulb. After doing some research I felt they might be a good fit based on the comments of some other reviewers. These LEDs are even narrower than U35 bulbs so I was initially concerned about how well they would fit into the lamp sockets as there is enough spacing/clearance between the bulb and the housing. In addition, the cutouts at the ends of the metal contacts are slightly different from those on the Maxlite MLS13GU35 lamps. After installing the bulbs, I found that the spring inside the bayonet mount holds the bulb quite well. So far I'm quite satisfied. However, it remains to be seen how long they will last. Hence only four stars.
