GREAT PRODUCT: Lighting

This is typical of Hella products. I've been using them since the early 60's [no typo] and they all work great. They're never the most expensive or flashy, but they do the job perfectly.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Modern

Head a bit heavy

I've now looked through several cards. This one was better than the previous two, however the head of the lamp is a bit heavy and started to rattle out of the socket over time. I have to bend down and push back every few miles.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Nothing there

lemon sold. to lighting and electrics

Very disappointed, I was expecting a longer lifespan. Used it for about two weeks and it stopped working. Not sure if it's just a blown bulb or a serious malfunction. I'll try changing the bulb first. But when you pay a premium price, you expect premium performance.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Will write later

Good illumination, mediocre base

Good light distribution thanks to the Hella diffuser. It's not white halogen, but it does the job well. The base does not remain permanently connected to the 12V socket. It doesn't twitch, it just loses contact with the contacts and won't turn on until I put it back in. It is best if the outlet is parallel to the floor; The exhaust port in my 1994 Accord is square so the gooseneck curves a bit to fit snugly.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Almost never

Decent light. NO RED LENSES INCLUDED.

I bought it because the description said it included a red lens for night use (which I needed). When I received it, there was no red lens. I called Revain, explained the situation and the next day they sent me a replacement. It also had no red lens. I think the description is not accurate. So if you are looking for a red lens flashlight for night use, don't waste your money. The light works too, so that's a plus.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
