Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced Equivalent Daylight Non Dimmable SANSI: Power Up Your Lighting Experience by Brian Olson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic light, you get what you pay for

When buying LED bulbs, you should pay attention to the metal or ceramic heatsink and the heat dissipation holes. Contrary to popular belief, LEDs generate heat and if this heat is not controlled, the lifespan of the diodes will be significantly reduced. These bulbs easily weigh 3-4 times more than some other "no-name" LED bulbs I've tried from Revain, and because they have a hefty ceramic heatsink, the LEDs are evenly distributed across the surface. We replaced three 1600 lumens. CFLs with three of these bulbs and the difference in the amount of light they produce is amazing. Three of these bulbs easily illuminate a 24" x 13" room and come out of a second floor window to illuminate a front yard spot at the end of the driveway. They will justifiably damage your eyes if you try to look at them while they're on. And that's just the 13W model, they make these bulbs a lot brighter. I sent some to my mum who has poor eyesight and struggles to move and she started replacing her 100+w halogen bulbs with these things and she says she sees a lot better thanks to these bulbs than before, so she started buying them again and again to replace all the lightbulbs in her house. We have now been using several dozen of these lamps in pairs for over 6 months. at this point, and none of them have failed or deteriorated. Can't recommend them enough. Yes, there are plenty of cheaper options, but they don't dissipate heat properly and you hardly notice it. This is definitely a market where you get what you pay for, so spend the extra money and get something that should last you for years to come.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
