Review on πŸ” Highly Durable JACKYLED GU24 Standard Converter- Resistant to Wear and Tear by Tony York

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The white body is too long for LED bulbs, which usually have a wider neck.

The white plastic body is too long, causing the medium base LED lamp to have no electrical contact with the socket. I want the white case to be 1/4 inch shorter. Update: Support was very quick to respond to my complaints and even sent a free batch of replacement parts with a shorter body. Unfortunately, replacing the LED lamp didn't work either. (This may work with regular incandescent bulbs, but I haven't tried it.) LED bulbs tend to have a slightly wider neck. But given the popularity of LED bulbs, I suggest they test their products with LED bulbs and change the design to make them work with LED bulbs. As you can see from the pictures, "A" is the original part, "B" is the replacement part. "C" is where I used a hacksaw to shorten the body. "C" worked with a medium sized standard LED bulb. "B" didn't work. You can see them side by side in the 4th photo. It must be shortened by 5 mm.

Pros
  • SAFETY: The JACKYLED GU24 adapter is made of flame retardant PBT material with UL94 V-0 fire rating. It is temperature resistant up to 200 degrees and non-flammable.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
