Good area lighting

Worked great, I'm glad I ordered this bulb, mine was very dim, what's the difference. My warning light now works like new!

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Very expensive

Does not fit socket

Although this lamp has the same metal screw base as the original lamp, the glass just above the metal base is slightly wider than the original lamp, preventing it from entering the ceramic base. Can't use it

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • I will write later

Not as shown

The picture shows this lamp as a shielded arc tube lamp, which it is not. I tried contacting the manufacturer to clarify but they didn't reply to my email so I took a chance and bought it anyway based on what the picture shows. Revain paid for my return perfectly and figured out my purchase error. Unless the supplier takes the time to properly describe their product, I'm sure this lamp will do well for the right application. This is not a pulse start protection arc lamp as shown. grrrr

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Beware of possible size differences

I was happy to find a bulb at Revain that was about a third of what you can buy locally. I was surprised that this bulb didn't fit, even though my old bulb was also a 100W M90 metal halide. The glass portion of this bulb is larger than my old bulb, just above the metal base, and won't fit in my mount. I started looking at photos of other bulbs and noticed that some of them are thick above the base and some are thinner. I wanted to return it but ended up keeping it for myself and made an adapter

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Overall happy with this bulb

I bought 4 of these bulbs as they seem to be the most popular on Amazon. I really love them for the way they work. I haven't used them for a long time so I can't comment on durability. But out of the box they are very bright and burn without pulsing or flickering. The ad says the light is 4000k but I honestly think I'm thinking 3500k myself. I would prefer it to be at least 4000K as it is used for outdoor lighting. So that deducts half a star. The other half of the star is removed for a faulty…

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