Seller DOES NOT accept returns - make sure you need them!

Only buy these if you are 110% sure they will work for what you need them for! I just received my order and the design doesn't work (they have little notches on the side where you place the bulb) so they won't work. Seller doesn't accept returns so now I'm stuck with bulbs I don't need.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Only available in black

You get what you pay for - beware buyers

buyers beware, this seller does not accept returns. Two of the four lights are flashing, and who knows how long the other two will last. I figured I could save a few bucks and the convenience of going to the hardware store, but I ended up paying more for a working lightbulb and need to buy another one. So beware as there was no indication or wording that these bulbs are non-returnable.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Good but not great

Good replacement Panasonic FDS18E35/4

These bulbs are a bit trickier as there are several options that look the same but have a bulge in the socket that interferes with proper installation. I have a few cheap fakes with no bulges to fit anywhere (including spots with the wrong starter which can cause problems. They are perfect for the Panasonic FDS18E35/4. I have used some as replacements in a ceiling fan/bathroom combo Lichtraum, and they haven't failed in a couple of years, so I call it a success.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Expensive

After 49 weeks all 4 bulbs had burned out.

According to Revane I bought these 4 packs 49 weeks ago. Three of the 4 bulbs flickered slightly from the start and stopped working after less than 3 months each. The 4th lightbulb is now flickering so badly that I have to replace it. I'm not sensitive to fluorescent light, so if flicker bothers me. I think they would be totally useless for someone sensitive to fluorescent light. I know I should have returned them as soon as I received them, but my branded lightbulb (which was here when I moved

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Keep quiet

This product is misdescribed to buyers - WARNING!

This lamp does not replace your Panasonic FDS18E35/4, G24q-2 4-pin socket. This lamp is suitable for G24q-1 4-pin socket. See photo. And I find it funny that this seller adds as a "special" that he "puts our customers FIRST! We sincerely believe that our customers' satisfaction is the reason for a successful business. If for any reason you are unhappy with your order, simply contact us and we will do our best to make things right. All of our bulbs have 100% quality guarantee!" Satisfaction…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Appearance

Good replacement for the original light bulbs

Pro: Good and cheap replacement for the original light bulbs in our bathrooms. I checked the original order date and it looks like they lasted about 2.5 years in our master bathroom (the most used bathroom). It sounds right compared to the lightbulbs that were originally in the house. Cons: Actually none. It can be a bit difficult to pull them out when standing on a ladder. Other thoughts: That being said, sometimes when Revain sells a "universal" version, you're never sure what you're getting.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different

Does not fit the lamp listed in the product description

I bought this because it was supposed to be compatible with my Panasonic light. Didn't fit! Then I tried to return it on credit and he said it was non-refundable. That's not how it turned out when I ordered the lamps. But it said he was entitled to a refund. So I tried to get a refund. But I can't navigate to the return option! Very misleading from Revain. Carefully! There is a protrusion on the base of the lantern, located in the center of the base. The tab must be off-center to fit. I ordered

Pros
  • Easy assembly
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Product arrived as described

Product arrived as described, true to size and undamaged. The delivery was fast as the main supplier, I believe it was delivered on the 2nd day after ordering. I use the Revain Key for delivery so the packages are safely placed in my garage and it is placed in the garage as I chose at checkout. Overall I'm giving a 5 star rating because I got exactly what I needed for my ceiling light and the size was very disappointing to find elsewhere. Both major hardware stores didn't stock the right sizes…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for elderly
