Customer Reviews & Opinions

Perfect Ear Muffs
Cheaper noise canceling safety ear muffs will turn off the sound for almost a full second after a noise impact (usually gun shot). These filter them out and bring the sound right back in. The sound is clear and static free, a difficulty with cheaper muffs also.

When I turn these up, I can hear far better than natural ability in the woods. These are equal in function and quality to many $150-200 pairs I have tried. Exceptional value.

Lovely
A wonderful addition to your shooting safety gear. Very comfortable, Just turn them on and select a comfortable volume and they allow you to speak to your friends and listen to the world around you without having to take them off. Then just go ahead and fire your gun and the amplifier immediately dampens the noise.

I’m gonna by more.

Howard Leight R-01526 - Inexpensive but Great
The Howard Leight R-01526 is the perfect fit for a low budget high quality noise reduction solution for ear muffs. It has a nice compact fold-able design which does not put pressure on the foam ear pieces which over time would deform and reduce functionality and fit. The electronics will shut off after 4 hours so if you forget to turn it off after you are done using it, it saves the battery life. In case the batteries do expire, the batteries (2 AAA cells) are easily installed/replaced. The ON/OFF & volume control switch is easily reached with one hand so adjustment is just as easy. There is a 3.5 mm jack port for your MP3 player of choice so you can listen to digital recordings while still protecting your ears as well as being able to hear someone speaking in a normal conversation level around you in a noisy environment. It is easily adjustable for a comfortable fit and it noise reduction rating of 22 dBA makes it more than a match for even some other higher dollar models. It has a low profile so shooting against a rifle butt is not awkward nor clumsy. I would highly recommend this product to someone looking for a high quality, noise reducing electronic ear muff that will not break the bank.

you and your mom will like these
Purchased these after being less than full satisfied with peltors. The features I prefer about these are: more comfortable, higher volume, better drop-out circuitry, higher-fidelity sound, single volume knob, auto-off, easy battery replacement. The only problem I had was that they were too big. I’m average sized, but even on the smallest setting, still too big. Stuck some 1/2″ foam to the headband to fix.

Great product
Comfortable and the amplification is great. I purchased a cheaper product a couple months earlier, and it didn’t cut it. The Howard Leight is wonderful.

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Great product, very natural looking spectrum of light!
These light bulbs are fundamentally different from other incandescent lights. The spectrum that they throw is much more natural looking than other incandescent bulbs and a magnitude of difference from flourescent. If you use them throughout your house, you will have nice lighting that feels better and more natural. I think they also make any decor look better. It’s find it’s a relatively low cost to improve the look of your home and to feel better. While OTT-lights are even better, they are quite a bit more expensive and less practical. I use these for spotlighting in an office and other more specialized applications. Highly recommended.

The best accessory for my home
I recently recieved a package of the GE reveal lights (100 watt) and they are wonderful. The light isn’t harsh compared to the GE softwhite 100 watt bulbs. The GE reveal light is a more natural, softer light source and it truly enhances whatever environment you put it in.

Lighting for portraits
So I needed to scrap together a light set up from whatever I could find at the local hardware store to make a couple portraits. Picked these up because they were “Full Spectrum.” I was a bit worried at first because the lights were on the warm side compared to true daylight (light temperature is somewhere around 3000K, I used 3300k for warmer skin tones). When combined with a dimmer switch, they tend to go more yellow at lower intensities but I assume this is the same for all incadescent lamps. When I reviewed the photos, these lights really do, as advertised, make colors “pop.” These lights provide good color saturation and contrast compared to normal incandescent lights and even compared to my flash unit.

As an every day light, I prefer flourescents for energy efficiency. But as an incandescent, I see how these could be pleasant once your eyes adjust to the light warmth in the color. If you are looking for a “full spectrum” flourescent, they do exist, just a bit hard to find at your local hardware store.

While not true “daylight,” these lights do help bring out colors and are what I would use if I used incandescent lights.

Daylight ~5600k

Incandescent ~2700k

GE Reveal ~3000k

What a great replacement!
I was skeptical that these would have a significant improvement over the usual soft white bulbs, but wow, the difference is amazing! The light is much cleaner, and less glare inducing, the ‘whiteness’ is incredible. It’s very pleasing, I was impressed.

As a result, I’ve replaced every single bulb in my house, and am heading back to the store tomorrow to get more reveal bulbs!

They’re light bulbs. They light up.
Not much to say. They light up. I tend not to use incandescent bulbs any more, but these are nicely daylight balanced, and work well in the Easy Bake Oven where they are used.

Good bulb good value
My house is full of this type of bulb which has been discontinued by manufacturers. I ordered 2 dozen. It never arrived due to damage caused during delivery. I ordered again. It came fast than estimated. I tested every single bulb, everyone is in working order. Nice bright, and very good value!

Good value, decent bulb
I just learned that these bulbs are no longer being made and are being phased out. All incandescent floods. I’m not ready to be without them, so I’m stocking up. I’ve used Feit bulbs for years and they last as well as any.

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Great Cleaner
Godd stuff! My wife has used many different products in an effort to keep our stainless looking good and this one has moved to the front of the pack! Easy to use, it leaves a clean streak free finish.

works just like it says!
All of the appliances in my new kitchen are stainless steel, and I was getting sick of the streaks from attempting to clean with Windex. (It doesn’t work). I ordered this product recently, and it does exactly what it promises– gets rid of streaks and is pretty easy to use. My appliances look great now!

Tried them all-decided on Whirlpool SS Cleaner
This product does what it says. Wipe on with a clean cloth. Let sit one minute. Wipe off with a clean cloth. EASY and it works. I tried some products that left a very oily finish that was a dust magnet #1 and #2 just felt a bit ‘icky’. The Whirlpool cleaner removes fingerprints on the fridge and dishwasher. Also removes grime and grease and shines stainless steel backsplash above the range and also the stainless steel venting hood, both heavily abused workhorses.

For especially dirty spots let sit a bit longer. The other thing I really like is that whereas some cleaners recommend applying and buffing only in the direction of the stainless steel, this allows wiping in a circular motion under the directions. I do it all the time for minor clean or more stained areas and am left without streaks, just a clean sheen every time!

Works as it should
I have never found a product that didn’t leave streaks on all the appliances. This is simple and makes appliances looking gleaming and new. Wipe it on…wait a minute or two and then buff it off. One random note….I noticed while I was waiting to polish it off that my dog was lapping it off the dishwasher…luckily it didn’t do any harm but thought I would pass on the warning!
