Review on Dimmable Microwave Oven Bulb Under Microwave by Justin Boisvert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Suitable for GE Profile 2018 microwave oven but not for warm color. Edit: Out of the Nest, Edit: Blown Out

Edit November 9th: Both of the original bulbs finally blew out (or got so weak as to be unusable) in early October, so I went ahead and got a new pair halfway through ordered by October 2020. They looked much shorter than the original ones. The new ones were nice and bright for 2 weeks and then they started to fail. They went very very dark intermittently and then permanently dark and I checked again and both were screwed into their base tight enough that they didn't come loose like last time. I had to return the money for a new batch in early November 2020 and I reject this brand. I think back to the old trusted halogen bulbs when I can find them. it is an outlet. So it didn't burn out as quickly as I thought it would. This has never happened to me so I'm not sure if it's a problem with the size of the socket or the lamp base, it can't be tightened. I think it's better than the other way around. I had light bulbs stuck in the socket and couldn't get them out without needle nose pliers. is 3600 hours, not the claimed 20,000+ hours. Original Rating: I like the brightness but wish it was closer to 2700K rather than the listed 3000K because this light is too white. It looks like the color temperature of fluorescent lights compared to my other warm LED bulbs in the kitchen. I doubt it's actually 3000K. It's also longer than the original lamp, but still fits. I have 2 lightbulbs under my microwave. This is a vintage GE profile from 2018. It flickers in low light but stays on in bright light. It turns off completely when it's off, as I've noticed some people have a faint light when the lights are off, but I'm fine in that regard.

Pros
