Customer Testimonial - T8M LEDs



Posted on December 21, 2012

"I wanted to send Super Bright LED's a note long before this and express my satisfaction of your T8M LED low voltage landscape lights I purchased early August of last year, 2011. I own a 4 apartment rental with a little frontage of property. About 6 years ago had purchased the simple and cheap plastic lights from the local big box home owners store with the big orange sign. I installed about 75+ low voltage 4 watt incandescent landscape lights on two timer transformers around the building, driveway parking area and along the entire front side walk.

Well as time went by, I found myself replacing the little 4 watt bulbs almost 2 or more a week and it was getting expensive at $4.00+ a two pack. In my frustration I happened upon your web site and was please to find someone had replacement low voltage LED bulbs! I did a little investigation and then decided even though your price per bulb was near the price of a two pack 4 watt incandescent bulbs, I realized your bulbs would be cheaper in the long run. I had a tough time convincing my wife of the new expense being she is an accountant but then she realized the LED's would cut expenses in the long run with less bulb replacements and less energy consumption. So I placed my order of red, white, blue and green T8M Tier Light bulbs.

After my order came I set out to replace all the incandescent 4 watt bulbs with the T8M's. When I had calculated the power consumption I was amazed as to how little energy draw your LED's require. With that less energy draw, I could easily eliminate one transformer which I did and used the now 'reserve' power of the operating transformer to energize a 110 vac relay that now operates the flag pole light which comes on with the LED's.

Well ... the first night ... I couldn't wait until dark to see what difference the LED's made if any. WOW!!!! What a difference!!!! The LED's were 10 times brighter then the old 4 watt incandescent bulbs! I installed the red, white and blue theme and it looks GREAT and still does! The property is just after a bend in the road and when you come around the bend the first thing you see are the red, white and blue LED's and the US flag! It really looks sharp at night.

So here is the interesting part. August of last year (2011), just after I purchased and installed the lights we had Hurricane Irene. My property was flooded with about two feet of creek water and almost all the LED's were submerged.  After the waters receded, I let things dry out for a few days and after the electrical inspector did his thing, I fired up the LED's again. Every one worked except for two! The two that didn't work were because the top light assembly had came loose and floated away taking the bulbs with them. Every bulb that was still there worked!!! Even to this day I had only one other LED quit on me recently and that was due to the little contact legs had rusted off. You have a GREAT product and I'm very pleased with your LED's!!! I thought you should know this and please pass it on. Thank you!!!"
