Good people sent LED bulbs for the test. Three hundred and seventy pieces!
They sent lamps of twelve brands: REV, Smartbuy, Era, Camelion, Gauss, Navigator, Online, Philips, Ecola, Photon, Cosmos, General.
By the way, it turned out that Camelion BasicPower lamps in white boxes are no longer manufactured. Now only Camelion LED Ultra in mint green is available. I’m also testing White, because they still remained in stores. In addition to the lamps, several more Gauss LED strips were sent.

At one time in the laboratory I can test 50 lamps, and if I get very tense, up to 80. This means that I can “digest” such a huge number of bulbs in five or six trips to the laboratory, but that’s not all. Some of the parameters (ripple, minimum voltage, work with a switch having an indicator) I test at home, it is another five to six days. If I devote two days a week for testing, I can finish by September.
But testing is the easiest. The auxiliary processes are much more time-consuming - all the lamps need to be photographed, weighed, measured in size. It is necessary to add the article numbers and parameters of the lamps to the database. It is necessary to find the minimum prices on the Internet for each lamp and add it to the database. I understand that there are few enthusiasts like me, but suddenly someone wants to help. I would be very grateful.
I have two questions for you.
1. What lamps to start testing with? I think to start with the Era (as the most massive), then Camelion, then Smartbuy, then all of which are few, and at the end of the REV. Do you agree?
2. Do I upload the test results to the site without photos and prices and add them later, or is it better to first add all the data to the database, and only then upload it?
