Review on 💡 Philips LED 450 Lumen 2700K-2200K Equivalent Bulb by Lisa Price

The warm light dimming feature is great. Really excellent color temperature both at full power and when dimmed. I'm renovating and need these lightbulbs. Unfortunately, the Warm Glow line is limited. R20 bulbs are only available in 45W equivalents. It's ok for a living room, but in my kitchen I need over 450 lumens per bulb. 60 watt equivalent A19 bulbs (800 lumens) give me plenty of light, but since these are "A" series bulbs I'm going to fit the inside of the can and the back of the baffle into my 4" Illuminate recessed lights. I would also like to use a PAR 20 on a warm gimbal. I use a Commercial Electric T41 to highlight the chimney, but the color temperature is slightly higher than Philips Warm Gimbal bulbs and the temperature doesn't drop when I dim the light. Incidentally, Philips' corporate website is difficult to navigate, so don't bother searching for a list of available warm glow bulbs. Bulbs: tubular bulbs that reflect or direct light in a specific direction (since LEDs are directional by nature, I think the "R” for reflector is technically rudimentary) *PAR bulbs: parabolic reflector bulbs. Silver cone bulbs commonly used in recessed and track lights. s is halogen. A parabolic reflector focuses light more accurately than a simple reflector.*Gimbal: A pivoting rod that allows you to point a built-in light in a specific direction.*19, 20, etc.: Lamp diameter at its widest point. Bottles are measured in units of 1/8 inch. To convert lamp size to inches, divide the size by eight. * Color Temperature: The "warmth" of light. The lower the temperature, the warmer the light, which appears conversely, until you remember that a blue flame is hotter than a yellow or orange one. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin. * Lumens: Units of light produced. The "equivalent power" of the LED is a holdover from the old incandescent bulbs. (A watt is a unit of electrical power consumed by a lamp.) To effectively compare LED lamps, you need to compare the lumens produced. A 60 watt equivalent lamp produces almost twice as many lumens as a 40 watt equivalent lamp, even though 60 is only 1-1/2 times as many watts.
