Our research approach

Documented specifications, admitted limits.

Our comparisons read the exact Amazon listing and its public review record. They are not hands-on product tests, and they do not establish measured performance or installation suitability.

We report what a listing documents and say plainly where it stops. Confirm current details with the manufacturer and seller, and keep every electrical question with a licensed electrician.
