Review on Efficiently Energize Your Space with the Dimmable A21 LED Bulb by Loren Schmidt

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't work properly with my X-10 control system

I have an old X-10 control system for lights in my living room and unfortunately the Energetic lights did not work properly with that system. After turning off the lights with the X-10 controller, the lights came back on after a few seconds. Otherwise, the color temperature was an almost perfect match for the soft white GE bulbs I used to have in my bulbs. However, when dimming Energetic lamps, the color temperature does not get warmer than incandescent lamps. I sent back the Energetic bulbs and decided to try the Philips LED bulb. Revain was out of stock so I ordered it from Home Depot. The Philips lamp should give off a warm glow when you dim it. I look forward to trying out this feature. I'd like to keep the Energetic bulbs because they only draw 21W while Philips uses 29W for pretty much the same lumens.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
