Bell 4w 284mm LED Striplight Opal/Pearl 3000K (830) Warm White Colour 05157, S15s, 4 W

Purchased after the bathroom mirror light gave up. It was relative easy to swap (be careful as the light fitting has a plastic tab which breaks easily) and works very well. It's brighter than the original light however much closer to white than the previous warmer colour. I wish it was more towards yellow as the bathroom would feel nicer.

We have a wall unit that takes tube lights (not fluorescents) but they used to get very hot and didn't seem to last very long. Replacements seemed to be difficult to find and were expensive. I was planning to take the fittings out when I found there was an LED replacement. The LEDs are as bright as before but don't get hot and have lasted ages so far so I am really pleased. I would recommend LEDs wherever you can fit them as they use a fraction of the electricity and so are cheap to run.

I saw a reviewer, on this product, say to make sure the cover/shield is on – otherwise it may not work! They were right with my LinoLite (which is a fairly old fitting). Put the cover on and it's working fine, with old LinoLite light/bracket. Over the moon, as I've not replaced it for years. Interestingly it seems it doesn't get burning hot like the old bulbs either. How times have changed. Plastic outter, not sure how long will last, but works on first installment and gives out plenty of light.

UPDATE Nov 2020:The tube started to flicker to the point it turns off. Removed from the housing and cleaned the contacts with alcohol and wire wool, the issue persists. So after 16 months of use, it needs replacing.Purchased this to replace the incandescent tube light in the bathroom. The spec for this LED tube was 3000k with 500L. This tube gives out more visible light than the replaced tube with a whiter light. Found that details when shaving etc....this whiter light show more details than the previous slightly orange tube light and only consuming 4w of power. Hope it lasts as it is LED and 20,000hrs rated.

Very happy with this product. Before ordering, I had checked the length 284mm as there is also a shorter 221mm length. This one fits in snugly and works first time as soon as the diffuser plastic cover is inserted and it comes on when the string is clicked. I was concerned about the brightness as mentioned by others so i have selected this opal 4W or 500 Lumen which is ideal as a shaver light for my bathroom. I have rated 5 stars for longevity so hopefully it would last 20,000 hours as advertised in the box packaging.

Exactly what I needed for my bathroom light. Perfect brightness and well packed.

Disappointed when the light I ordered didn't arrive and had been substituted with a different one (Crompton 6W instead of Bell 4W) , but having fitted it and lived with it for a couple of days perhaps the increased wattage and brightness is actually an advantage, so overall am happy at the end of the day.

Very good for my bathroom.
