Review on Yorkim LED Load Resistors - Fix Hyper Flash, Blink & Error - 50W 6ohm - Pack of 4 by Chris Kidd

Revainrating 2 out of 5

2 out of 4 bad out of the box but it worked

One of their competitors claims to have stronger connectors where wires are connected to resistors. I had to go with them. One plug was open, the wire came loose under the insulation, simply because it was pinched in transit. I knew it was open as soon as I touched it and the VOM confirmed it. Another did the same while I was installing it. I only needed two of the four resistors, and luckily the other two stayed together, at least when installed. I can also salvage the two bad ones by making more reliable connections and keeping them as spares. But why do I need it? About the editing: These things are worse than I thought. When I was trying to fix two resistors with open wire connections, I found the very small pigtail wires that were attached by threading a small section of the stripped wire through the eyelet on the resistor and then shrinking it. That's all. This is a mechanical and electrical connection. There is no slip at the wire terminal. There is no solder. The connection is so unreliable that I will remove the resistors already installed, solder new wires to everything and reinstall everything. Double the work for a cheap product.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
