Review on Hyperikon 40 50W Equivalent Lighting Bedroom by Kristi Green

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does not work with dimmers

Purchased for recessed downlights on a modern dimmer (Kasa). I have a very bad result. The lower limit is binary, it's either fairly bright or all off. At high frequencies, some bulbs hummed while others flickered heavily. I ended up replacing the dimmable mr16 with w Bioluz led which also didn't dim but worked properly with no flickering or buzzing. Next time I will try Philips. I can just switch to halogen if I can't get a nice warm dimmer. Philips claims that they design some of their LED bulbs to dim like halogens, so we'll see!

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged
