Review on πŸ’‘ GE Halogen Light Bulbs: T3, 100W, 1500lm, R7S Base - Clear, 1-Pack Torchiere Bulbs by Richard Carroll

Revainrating 3 out of 5

They're expensive.

A few years ago I bought a dozen T3 lightbulbs from a generic brand for a fraction of the price I paid for them. The cheap ones I bought burned out in just a few hours. Since I had two headlights, one using the same bulb for years and the other changing bulbs every few hours, I figured the problem was with a light source. I replaced the main unit, routed all the wires going to the light but no luck - they were still gnawing through the bulbs. It wasn't until I came to Revain and read the reviews that I realized cheap lightbulbs were the culprit. The only bulb that worked uninterrupted for many years was an old, high quality bulb that was never replaced. I installed one of those new (expensive) lightbulbs and it didn't burn out. Unfortunately, there is a big difference between cheap nameless lightbulbs and GE branded lightbulbs. Anyone who produces/sells cheap junk should be ashamed!
