Absolute GARBAGE!: Lamp

These things are absolute GARBAGE! DO NOT waste your time and money on these things. Some of these broke right out of the packaging. The pens are too long and do not work. The one I was able to take to work burned out within a week. **UPDATE** The seller got it right. After I contacted the seller about my issues, everything was resolved. I respect them for making this deal pleasant. Many Thanks

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

G4 bulbs come in two sizes

G4 bulb is not standard. They are available in 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" sizes. Both sizes are available in different capacities. It is short and suitable for all uses. If you want a short one and buy a long one, it won't fit. These lamps work well and I recommend that you buy them so as not to risk being left with a long lamp. Focus on getting performance that matches the rest of your array or your application needs and you will be completely satisfied.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Unreliable

The pins are too thick, best in bulbs

The G4 bulbs on my dining room light have 0.7mm thick pins. I bought these halogen bulbs from Simba Lighting and most bulbs have 0.8mm to 0.83mm pins. There were four lamps from two boxes of 10 each measuring 0.7mm. I bought a branded T3, G4 base halogen bulb for landscape lighting and it had 0.7mm pins. So I think these bulbs are out of spec. Please see the attached photo which shows the dimensions of the standard G4 and these lamps with calipers.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Some minor things

Beware! Possible counterfeit or manufacturing issue

I think these lamps are either fake or not made correctly. The first bulb I installed shorted out the whole fixture, now I have to buy a new fixture. The second bulb I tried in another fixture didn't even fully work until I removed the new bulb. I was afraid of shorting out the second light so I didn't try the bulbs again. Something is wrong here. UPDATE: Two lamps need to be replaced. Defective bulbs have short-circuited both ballasts/lights! Replacing both will cost me $250!

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Everything OK

Lifetime Supply - Halogen Bulbs

I had a small table lamp that I inherited many years ago. A tiny halogen bulb was missing. I turned to Revain to find a bulb that might fit. To my surprise, I found a tiny lightbulb that could be her. I now have a lifetime supply. I am a very satisfied consumer of Revain Prime as the price for a pack of ten bulbs was quite reasonable and Revain placed them on my doorstep the next day giving me enough light to color my Revain reviews.14 bpl 56 bpv 2021 ljjc

Cons

The pins are cut to fit in a square; will not plug into an outlet

I bought these because they cost significantly less per bulb than the ones I bought at the local hardware store and they were identical. When I got them I needed to replace a burned out bulb so I tried new ones. To my surprise, unlike the bulbs I used, I couldn't fit new ones into the socket. When comparing it to the old bulbs, it was immediately noticeable that the old pins were pointed/beveled while the new ones were blunt. Old lightbulbs fit in sockets with no problem, but this one doesn't…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Low quality lamp.: Halogen lamps

Unfortunately these are low quality lamps. They are made of very poor quality filament and will burn out very quickly. The specifications indicate a lifespan of 2000 hours. It's not even close. My K****r (high quality) landscape light burns an average of 10 hours a day and the bulbs last a month or less. 10 hours x 30 days = 300 hours (or less)! I even checked my landscape voltage, thinking I might have a low voltage issue (drawing more current and blowing out the bulb faster), but I had 13.5…

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • I will add later
