Review on 💡 Aqueon 24-Inch T8 Full-Spectrum Daylight Fluorescent Lamp - 2 Pack, 17 Watts by Jimmy Moreland

These are two packs of full spectrum bulbs. I was alarmed when the first one I opened had already been opened earlier, the cardboard label at the top was crumpled as if from previous use. A slight shake of the bulb resulted in a rattling noise, indicating that something inside has come loose, e.g. B. when an element in a regular lightbulb breaks. I put it in the holder anyway, and although it was darker than I expected, it worked. but not for a whole day without going out. When the 1st bulb went out I put it back in the light and it worked again for the next 1/2 day. After that it didn't work again. Then I opened the second bulb, gave it a little shake and was disappointed to hear the same rattling noise. I put the bulb in the light anyway and it's just as dim as the first one but still works those 10 minutes since I did it. I don't really hope it will be of much use. I'm thinking of asking Revain for a refund but unfortunately that may not work as I already threw away the box from the 1st. Heed the advice of other reviewers: these bulbs do not work, despite exactly matching the characteristics of the bulb that came with the fixture; Aqueon T8 full spectrum fluorescent lamp 17W 24"
