Review on πŸ’‘ Whirlpool E17 LED Microwave Oven Appliance Bulb (8206232A) - 2-Pack, 40W Equivalent Light Bulbs (Daylight White 6000K) by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Flickers at low brightness

Easy to install. Fits great. Works well in bright light. Dims when turned off (I mention this because other reviews have had issues with it when used). My only problem is the low brightness: it flickers. It's just on the verge of visibility. I personally see that something is wrong, but for me it's not an obvious problem. My wife and son can see the flickering clearly and it is very annoying to them and they turn it off immediately if I leave the light on low brightness. The product description for this lamp states that it can be easily dimmed with an "LED dimmer". Apparently my 2 year old GE microwave doesn't have an LED dimmer and is expecting an incandescent bulb. I was hoping to use a long life LED, but it looks like I'll either have to stop using low brightness or buy some incandescent bulbs. 3 stars might not be fair, but I rated it based on my use case.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
