Review on πŸ’‘ Philips Dimmable PAR20 Flood Halogen Bulb by Brandon Mix

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good replacement for the original 50W R20 bulb

After waiting almost 3 weeks for my order (thanks to Revain for using ParcelPool to ship to Maui), I'm pleased to see that they are all working in my master bedroom. They darken beautifully and definitely increase the space. Our apartment has been remodeled with built in and adjustable lighting in the living and dining areas and master bedroom. As soon as we moved in all the lightbulbs started to burn out and my husband thinks our outrageous electric bill from all those lightbulbs (50w R20 NFL by Sylvania) totaled 13. He installed 13w CFLs in 2 places but they are not dimmable, noisy and ugly. Our electricity bills are still high even though we only had 5 original bulbs in the whole apartment before we bought these new bulbs. After evaluating more energy efficient alternatives, of which there are many, I realized that they are prohibitively expensive. If we moved I would take the lightbulbs with me, but I'm not sure I'll ever need 13 NFL lightbulbs that should last 20+ years. I hope these new 30w bulbs don't increase the power, the bill is too high and I'll make my husband buy the next box ;)

Pros
  • SOFT WHITE: Philips dimmable PAR20 halogen spotlights provide warm and pleasant lighting with a high color rendering index (CRI). These 2900 Kelvin light bulbs offer a bright, clear color perfect for recessed boxes, track lights and outdoor spotlights.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
