Review on πŸ’‘ Enhance your lighting with Philips 268243 Triple Compact Fluorescent bulbs by Johnny Wheat

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Be careful when removing them!

Unfortunately, these are the only lamps that can replace previous Philips lamp designs. It's not the seller's fault, it's the product's fault. The old three U-shaped light tube design was nicer, but easier to disassemble. This new design, while I don't really care about their aesthetics, is awful to remove. If you try to pull them out of the ceiling box, the individual light tubes will become very brittle and break, which is a safety hazard! We've already cracked open two without knowing they were bloody delicious, so now we lost $20 on two onions before we even needed them. Let know that I have also filed a complaint with Philips.

Pros
  • Average life: 12,000 hours
Cons
  • Big and chunky
