Excellent bulbs except for use with dimmer

I bought these to use with a digital dimmer. In my infinite wisdom I didn't understand the word "non-dimmable" in the product name. When the dimmer is at 100%, these are wonderful pears. Color rendering is good. They're very bright. Overall they don't have the issues I've noticed and they work well. I took off a star because they can't fix my stupidity. They are not very good when used with a dimmer. They first light up to 100% for less than a second and then dim. It's really annoying when you just need a night light in the middle of the night. They also make a buzzing noise and sometimes flicker noticeably. However, they specifically say they're not dimmable, so that might be more of a self-reflection.

Pros

. COMPATIBILITY: These Philips LED bulbs fit a medium E26 fitting. Not compatible with Philips HUE products. The non-dimmable Philips A19 LED lamps are only intended for use without a mains plug.

Cons
