Review on πŸ’‘ GY6 35 Halogen Bulb in Equivalent 2700K 3000K Non-Dimmable Version by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The pins are too thin, flicker, the bulb is identical to that sold by the same seller as another company

True, I did not want to leave a review and just eat my mistake, but when I realized that it being the same lightbulb sold by the same seller under two different names made me win as my goal was to buy two different lightbulbs. I ended up buying the same lightbulb twice, thinking that two supposedly different sellers were selling different lightbulbs, when in fact I found that the lightbulbs were identical and both from the same company with the same @163.com email address and the same Packaging came from labels (even label printing). hey group It's really confusing for buyers who are forced to experiment with LED bulbs to see if one bulb flickers and another doesn't, selling the same thing with slightly different descriptions, one says no flicker, one doesn't and one in Pack 5 pieces. and another in a pack of 6. Be the customer, they will think they are different when they experiment to see if the lightbulb works. Independent competition in LED lamps? Wow, who would have thought? The first thing to note about the lightbulb is that the pins may be too thin for your lightbulb. They fell out and wobbled even with the lamp pointing up instead of down and I had to bend and bend them to keep them in the lamp. However, my original halogen 6.35 worked fine. The distance between the pins is normal. I was expecting a possible flicker. I wasn't expecting thinner pins. Pen thickness, flickering, sometimes switching to that lamp isn't worth the hassle. However, they work tight if you use needle nose pliers to bend the pin and make a kink. This light flickers. There are, of course, many transformers out there, but perhaps manufacturers should have been a little more careful to ensure that changing transformers doesn't introduce flicker variations (and for the buyer, stop saying "no flicker" when it might still flicker, no flicker means no flicker). , can't flicker in your bulb), even increase power consumption to fix the problem if that's the cause, rather than customers looking for the only LED bulb that doesn't flicker like it's their fault. Electronic transformers trip when there is no load and get confused when the load is very low. It's good that they turn off for a halogen bulb that bursts, but not so good for these new LED bulbs. The risk is higher if your lamp uses only one bulb. The risk is reduced as the same transformer powers more lamps and draws more watts (as I am learning). As for the pins, it's hard to say who's to blame, other than the variety of bulbs is incredible, and now we have a difference in the thickness of the pins on top of all the other complexities. I now suspect that any 4 watt LED bulb in my lamp will flicker, but my frustration is that I've never had a chance to experiment. It was the same lamp, only sold by the same supplier under different brand names. Who would have thought that this is the same lightbulb? Of course, I just drew attention to the image of Revain placing two lightbulbs next to each other as different. I think everyone would do that. If vendors are different they should try to make sure this doesn't happen (I'm not sure how this would be done in Revain, but it's done with regular 75 watt bulbs (like Westinghouse, GE)), I was never embarrassed that I buy the same, but the brands of LED bulbs are rarely indicated) although with the same e-mail extension, the same packaging, the same label, the same print on the label, I somehow doubt that the suppliers are different companies.
