Ratings & Reviews for BELL + HOWELL 5500 -Lumens LED Plug-in Ceiling-mounted Work Light

Don’t Waste Your Money on JUNK

Like a fool I bought 10 of these for my garage and basement only to find out 3 of them died soon after using them. When they work they put out great lighting. Poorly designed electronics inside with poor quality parts. The part that fails inside the case is a MOV (metal oxide varistor) which has a low resistance when cold. When the 120V line voltage is applied to this part (i.e. input) it quickly warms up and the resistance goes to 0 ohms allows the full line voltage to the circuit. I repaired o...

Impressive for the price.

I have seen this lights online a few times once I saw them at Lowe’s I felt a little more comfortable spending the money on them. I was surprised at the quality for the cost and how bright they are. I purchased one to test and I was impressed. I ended up upgrading all three lights in my Garage I do not feel the need to replace the fixtures with the 48 inch LEDs I was originally planning on using. If you aim the lights upwards they reflect off the ceiling and produce a lot of “fill” light. I even...

Money down the drain.

I bought 3 of them. All 3 died within months. The first one lasted just a couple of months. The remaining 2 went a few months later in the same week. It's a complete wast of money. The warranty will due you no good.

Do Not Buy!!!

This light was a waste of money! Bought this light in February 2021 for my garage, used it for short periods and already stopped working.

Great Light for the Money

Love this product! Throws off a great deal of light which can be somewhat directed. My basement is very dark and these lights give me enough light to not have to rewire the basement. Very satisfied.

1 star reviews are accurate

lasted less than a year with infrequent use in the garage. buy another brand or go to costco

Lasts only five months

As many reviews have been saying, all three LED panels will quit working before six or seven months. I thought LED was the future of lighting that will last longer than another previous bulbs.

Bell & Howell Tri Burst LED

Failed after only 9 months. Lowes took no responsibility for the item which has a 5 yr warranty. The number they told me to call was not the correct company. It is actually made by Emson USA in China. They say they will replace it. DON'T Waste Your money on this fixture.

2 lights both didn’t last

Both of the lights I bought did not last 6 months. Poor quality

Yes, they are bright - to the point of blinding. A friend gave us a couple, so we bought a couple more. First 2 lasted around 1 month, the rest stopped working at about 3 months. Absolute garbage. Don't waste your money with Bell and Howell. We may try another company but are actually leery that any will be any better.

Great light.

So easy to use. Good quality and lights a big space.

Dead

Loved it at first, but now it is just dead. Reading the reviews I guess that I am lucky that it lasted 10 months! Not worth it to try to figure out the warranty.
