About Simba Lighting Halogen Light Bulb G8 T4 20W JCD Bi-Pin
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
89% praised for its exceptional brightness, but 11% found it too dim
Even after ordering the 50w bulbs, they are still a lot dimmer than the original one.
Nearly half the lights burned out before we finished dinner on the first night.
85% praised for its long lifespan, but 15% experienced early burnout
The bulbs have a short lifespan, lasting less than half the life of my previous bulb purchases at Home Depot or Lowes and are horrible.
Each bulb burned out within a week or two.
94% found it easy to install, but 6% found it difficult
I installed 20 bulbs in my kitchen on two different occasions.
It is difficult to install halogen bulbs into fixtures located underneath the kitchen cabinets. It is recommended to buy another brand that will last for years.
84% appreciated the minimal heat emission, although 16% found it still got too hot
The bulbs have burned out within a week or two and are of low quality.
90% liked the size and fit, but 10% had issues with compatibility
Before ordering, be sure about which size of halogen-bulbs you need as there are two different sizes available.
The bulb doesn't fit well into my under the counter g8 puck fixtures due to its height and prongs.
I had to order different wattage bulbs because the original ones were burnt out. I tried 35w and it was a lot dimmer than the original one, then I tried 50w and it was still a lot dimmer than the original one. I am pulling out the bright one and putting all 4 the same. This indicates that I have used the halogen bulbs and have faced this problem personally.
