Govee Curtain Light 2 01

REVIEW – I remember seeing an LED sign for the first time. It was monochrome, red, and only displayed text. It was crude by today’s standards, but it was glorious for a guy who loves lights. I’m sure the cost was a great big ‘ole bag-o-cash. A few decades later, it was shock and awe […]

Quntis Bathroom Light Fixture review – Dimmable, color temperature selectable, bathroom brightness

Quntis Bathroom Light Fixture 10

REVIEW – I remodeled my bathroom a few years ago and replaced the light over the vanity. Even with an exhaust fan, rust formed on its metal body much more quickly than anticipated. It wasn’t lovely and needed a contemporary replacement. Quntis offered one of their dimmable, color-temperature adjustable, four-globe lamps for review, and I

Quntis MonitorLamp Review 18

REVIEW – If you’ve ever spent time working from your computer while in a dark room, the brightness of the monitor can become uncomfortable.  One way to address this is by adding light around the workspace, though the challenge then becomes keeping the light source from creating glare on the monitor itself.  Monitor light bars

Quntis 82ft 1000 LED string lights review – Light up your holidays

qunits 82ft LED 01

REVIEW – Several years ago, I strung together lights along my backyard fence with varying results. One strand wasn’t really for outdoor use and failed. The next  strand I tried required me to daisy chain several together, and eventually failed. As luck would have it, I got my hands on the Quntis 82ft (25m) string

Rollin 17

REVIEW – When our house was built a little over two years ago, we thought we had all the light fixtures exactly as we wanted.  We paid extra to the builder to ensure we had recessed lighting instead of the basic ceiling-mounted fixtures they offered.  It turns out we missed a total of four lights.
