Review on πŸ’‘ Enhance Your Lighting with OSTWIN 4 Inch LED Retrofit Gimbal Downlight by Tommy Willis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very bright daylight

In 2014 I had a Lithonia pendant installed in my house and one of the lights failed and I couldn't find the exact same shade in 4k as my current ones in 4k. Finally got this to see 1. if it fits in the tin 2. to see how wrong the color was. Not in color of course, but at least it matched the glass. The one I got from Lithonia was warm and completely colorless, and the other model from Lithonia was very close to the hue (4k) but didn't match due of the mold on the old Lithonia 4" tin. I finally tried it and it fits, although it's whiter than my current one. So I took this new one to my office and from there one to the living room where I use it the most Btw all these companies make a big fool of us about the lifespan of LEDs, my originals from Lithonia claimed to last 50,000 hours and I installed them in 2014 and used an average of 5 hours (average) per day which would mean that I should have had another 50,000 - 5 hours x 365 x 5 years = 40,000 hours lifespan still on the one that went bad so I don't think even that one will last that long but at least should companies are penalized for mismarketing and pollution, as whoever goes bad ends up in a landfill.

Pros
  • Recessed lighting
Cons
  • I don't remember
