Review: TerraLUX TLE-20 Nichia Regel - CPF Reviews

TerraLUX-TLE-20-Nichia-Regel.jpg

CPF Reviews have published a review of the TerraLUX TLE-20 Nichia Regel LED light module. 'TerraLUX TLE-20 has relatively higher light output as compared to original filament bulb. Nichia Regel LED due to it's warm tint closely matches the color rendering quality of incandescent bulb, yet offers a whiter beam of light. For the same type of batteries TerraLUX TLE-20 will run considerably longer than the incandescent bulb in both types of MiniMag Lights. As the LED replacement is a solid state device, there is no filament to burn out or no glass to break. This makes your beloved MiniMag AA or MiniMag AAA sturdier and last longer without worrying for replacement bulb. Over the period of operation, the incandescent bulb will turn dark due to deposition of tungsten on inner walls of glass bulb in comparison the Nichia Regel warm white LED will remain in good condition for considerably long duration. The Nichia Regel LED operates at higher voltage than original incandescent bulb.'

The Grand Forks Herald have published a review of the GreatLite Marine Lamp. 'GreatLITE, a company that specializes in flashlights and related products, didn’t come up with any fancy, gimmicky names for the product. They call it, quite simply, the Marine Lamp, and after trying one of the flashlights, I’d give it a thumbs-up for any boater who’s in the market. The Marine Lamp arrived at my desk in no-frills packaging. One downside: It was that nasty, hard plastic, the stuff that’s impossible to open without a knife or a scissor. Still, the light itself made up for the inconvenience.'
