Replaces an old fuse - Switches, Load Centers & Fuses

Had to replace the fuse in Santa's "Show Me The Lights". I made sure that the description and appearance of the old fuse matched the new fuse. It works perfectly!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Compatibility

Works with breakers, load centers and fuses

This is a fuse. Does exactly what it should. No constant crashes for no reason. Holds up well outdoors. It rained a lot and it's still raining heavily. Make sure you have the correct replacement size. If not, then it's your fault.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Works properly with fuses

Works properly. We've had a number of street lights that used fuses of this size and you guessed it, they couldn't find this size in town. Worked well with the headlights and once my fat fingers were able to get the fuse set properly the headlights worked great.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Available in black only

Now we are ready for the next Christmas season!

We were upset when a tiny fuse blew in our outdoor Christmas display and we only had two kings! But thanks to Revain we found a Bussmann GMA-5A 5 Amp Glass Fuse - now we're ready for the next holiday season! To our delight and surprise, they arrived on Sunday!

Pros
  • Glass tube, nickel plated (500mA-15A) Brass end cap construction
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Larger than expected

Bought for a small Holmes table fan. It should be the size of a Christmas fuse, but with more current. After reading the reviews I bought these and they are much larger than a regular Christmas lamp fuse. I think "mini mic" is what I need. The fuse on the left is what I have, the fuse on the right is what I need!

Pros
  • Fast acting, low cut-off
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Bait and switches, not real Buss fuses! NOT ORDER!

They are sold as Buss brand fuses, IT IS NOT! I have been using GENUINE Bussman fuses for 40 years and have never seen a single fuse without the BUSS mark. Cheap rubbish that doesn't carry 50% of its rating, I tested them on the dyno. Neither of them carried 2.5 amps, half their advertised rating, for any period of time. One exploded at 1.63 amps, wow. The tests were performed at both 12 VDC and 120 VAC. To say I'm disappointed would be a huge understatement if I wished negative stars were anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Physical size 5mm x 20mm
Cons
  • I'll write later
