Review on πŸ’‘ Efficiently Convert GU24 to E26 or E27 with the JACKYLED Adapter by Raji Bentz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good luck finding anything other than 800 Lumens Cool White.

GU socket. Man, we thought this was the future when CFLs came out. Oh how wrong we were. I live in a relatively new apartment built to LEED specifications in 2012 with the latest affordable energy efficiency in mind. Of course, all my wired lights were in GU24 variants. Well, that claimed 7 year lifespan isn't always the benchmark and some of them failed fairly early on. Natch, my building maintenance was having trouble keeping compatible bulbs in stock, so I had to find a replacement. My only luck with brick and mortar work has been at Home Depot in a nearby town and an outdated ace in the sticks. Good luck finding anything other than cool white 800 lumen bulbs. So I put together a whole bunch of these lightbulbs and now I'm lightbulb free again. AMERICA. (Well, no tungsten bulbs. Also, AMERICA.) I've paired them with Sylvania LIGHTIFY and Sengled Element Smart Bulbs so I now have a full range of lighting options. Too bad the bayonet base bulbs didn't catch on, but at least it saved me from having to rework everything.
