Review on Equivalent Halogen Bulbs Bi Pin Dimmable by Tim Beckett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The first thoughts are to match the ad.

I have an outdoor volt backlight using GU14-15-30 LEDs, two of which have stopped working, one shorted out, the other just failed. The original lamps were more expensive than these, so I decided to try them. The color is almost identical to the original lamp, so much so that only I could notice. The brightness is the same. I'm taking off a star because the bulbs aren't that tight. Perhaps the pins on these bulbs are a bit smaller. For the one bulb that wouldn't stay, I bent the pin just a little and it sat snugly in the socket. They were only installed today, so I can't say anything about durability yet. If this becomes an issue I will come back and fix this issue. Edit: The lamps have a lifespan of approx. 100 hours and still work great.

Pros
  • Bulbs
Cons
  • Socket required
