Review on πŸ’‘ Dimmable Philips Halogen PAR30S Flood Light by Sheila Harp

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for everyday use. Be sure of the destination before you buy.

Meh. The kitchen and living room in my apartment are open floors so we use them as they are the only ones suitable for built-ins. The bulbs are VERY bright (definitely 75W equivalent) which is great, but as another poster said the beam is pretty narrow. We use three of these bulbs pointing in different directions (forwards, backwards, sideways) to illuminate a 950 mΒ² living room. ft. Unfortunately they only last 2-3 months with daily evening use (6 hours a day). To be honest they should only be used outdoors e.g. B. as overhead lighting in garages/decks, or indoors rarely for small nooks and crannies. I wish my apartment had different lights so we didn't have to buy three bulbs every few months. In any case, I'm giving this 3 stars on the assumption that they will work well if used correctly, ie not like my apartment. For everyday indoor use, choose something different.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
