Review on Stylish Non-Dimmable Candelabra-Style Chandelier for Elegant Home Decor by Willie Carrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much closer to 400 lumens

I found mine 3 bulb ceiling light fitted with Phillips Hue chandeliers didn't provide enough light for the room so I looked around for brighter bulbs. I found them and bought a kit because they were cheap and the specs said they were nearly three times brighter than the Hue bulbs I had. (1200 lumens for them versus 450 lumens for the Philips Hue chandeliers) After replacing the Hue bulbs with these, I couldn't tell any difference in the brightness of the room. I found this very disappointing as I was expecting at least twice the light based on the specs. My guess is that the specs are intentionally misleading by listing the combined lumen output for all three bulbs in the set. If we divide the listed lumens by the number of bulbs, we get 400 lumens per bulb, so I probably didn't see any difference between these bulbs and my existing Hue bulbs, which have 450 lumens per bulb. makes a howling sound when those lights are on. I thought it might be because the lights are installed in the ceiling fan, but the lights and fan are wired independently and controlled by separate switches on the wall. I ended up removing those lights and reinstalling the original Hue lights. I only installed them for a few minutes so I can't comment on durability. Although the price may seem tempting, there are countless similarly priced alternatives that don't detract from the performance of their products.

Pros
  • 🔥 MAXIMUM SAFETY: Thanks to fireproof and flame retardant PC material (UL94 V-0 rating), less heat build protects you from the situation when the bulb explodes out of nowhere
Cons
  • Only available in black
