Good product with compact fluorescent lights

I was skeptical at first when stuck in a new home being built by KB Homes. Good that Revain offers this product. I don't know where to find such lighting.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required

Approximately 10,000 hours lifespan

They're expensive and I'd love to see them actually last as long as they say on the box: 10,000 hours. In my experience they often last less than 2000 hours. Just for your information.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Appearance

Disappointed with the return policy.

Does not match our lamp but looks like it. Very disappointed they let me send the lamp back to get my credit. It's only $7.96 to buy with tax, and it's the same to return. I will no longer do business with this company.

Pros
  • speakerphone
Cons
  • The list will be long.

it is not so bad. This is definitely NOT cool white

The light emitted is quite "white". But it is not so bad. It is definitely NOT cool white. The brightness is pretty good, I have this bulb in an outside light on the side of my house. It lights up the area well. And not so bright that it disturbs the neighbors. But if you live in a complex where your neighbor's bedroom window is eight feet from you, they might not be thrilled because it's quite bright.

Pros
  • Mercury content 2.5 mg liquid HG
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Lamp failure due to bad crimping of pins

I bought this lamp on June 15th 2019 and installed it upon receipt. After about 2 months it became intermittent and I found that when the lamp wiggled it would turn on again for a while. I removed the bulb and ran a test by measuring the resistance of the filament circuits. I found that one of the two filament circuits is open and the other has a resistance of 4.2 ohms which I believe matches the resistance of the filament. The other two pins (shown in Photo 1) show one pin overheating, which I

Pros
  • 10000 Nominal Life
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

If this is your only choice then this is your only choice

The Bathtub Light has been found to use one of these or at least this type of 4 pin base. Apparently the developer agreed. I was "excited" when I found out that there was a manufacturer for this type of lamp. It's CFL and it starts off pretty quickly. It only happens 2300K, ie cool white. I prefer daylight. They are very expensive for what they are. If, like me, you're stuck with this type of base and don't want the inconvenience of taking out the ballast and converting it to a screw base, this

Pros
  • 1800 Approximate lumen output
Cons
  • No instructions
