Review on πŸ’‘ Satco 13PAR30 LED 2700K 120V Industrial Electrical: Efficient Lighting Solution for Industrial Applications by Melissa Dufour

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2700k is much nicer indoors!

I first ordered the 3500k version with 60 degree LED lighting to replace my 60w 1070 lumen halogen bulbs but in the dining room it was awful, such a nasty one Colour! Since halogens are around 3300K I assumed 3500K would be a good choice but I was wrong or the color temperature claims for halogen bulbs were wrong. I then ordered a 2700k color which is exactly what I had and is a little brighter at 20 percent power! I had to replace my dimmers with compatible Lutron AYCL-153P-WH LEDs, which are even listed on the lamp box. as compatible (although I have three of these bulbs on this dimmer and have noticed a slight buzzing which has annoyed me since following Satco's recommendations and the bulbs are still buzzing). For those considering the switch to LED, don't miss out on the dimmer compatibility, otherwise you won't be able to dim very far and I'm pretty sure this will significantly reduce the lifespan of the bulbs. The 3500k versions are out now where they fit better.

Pros
  • Replaces up to 50w PAR30
Cons
  • unreliable
