Review on Philips LED Dimmable Frosted Light by Russell Galbreath

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No "sterile " blue LED lights, perfect replacement for an incandescent bulb

These are lightbulbs, they turn on and off when I want and dim smoothly, no complaints about the basics, they just work :-) THESE COLORED LAMPS WHAT YOU WANT Sorry I had to get that out of the way. The stereotype with LED lights is that they make any room you are in look like a hospital because the light is always either super SUPER white or slightly blue. This is not the case with these pears. 2200K-2700K is what you need to get beautiful light. The K in these numbers stands for Kelvin and refers to color temperature. The higher the number, the "colder" the color, i.e. closer to blue and magenta. The lower the number, the "warmer” the colors, meaning yellow, orange, and red. These bulbs peak at 2700K, which I think is the ideal color temperature for indoor lighting, as it mimics the warm glow of incandescent bulbs, with that we all grew up with. As you dim them, they become 'warmer', reaching 2200K at the lowest dimming level. If you go for 3000K lamps, expect a 'cooler' colour, ie. rather light white. Then you get more of a bluish tint which some might want but not what I was looking for.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
