Review on 🌟 Enhance Your Space with Philips 465054 LED Dimmable 35 Degree: Optimal Lighting in Every Corner by Jon Thibeault

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best I've found

With nearly 400 mostly positive customer reviews at the time of purchase and the Philips name on the box, there's no question this is one of the best decisions you'll make can, especially when compared to a seemingly endless list of nameless lightbulbs being sold these days. I chose them for these reasons, and also because they look, feel and function almost exactly the same as the well-known halogen bulbs they replace, especially as they are one of the few GU10 LED bulbs that not only have the front but also the top the front light up side. This is extremely important when used in fixtures with clear or frosted glass grooves, as shown in one of my drawings. Most GU10 bulbs are emitters or spotlights to some degree. This is a good compromise in the sense that they direct most of the light forward but don't have a sharp circular light pattern, there is a gradual roll off around the entire perimeter to the sides. So I think they can be called both spot and flood lights. They come in either daylight or bright white, which doesn't exactly match the description of other brands. The photos can't really illustrate this for you, you'll only know for sure when you put them in your own fixture, but overall I found the bright white to be the closest to our own vision, very accurate in color and not stark. In comparison, daylight is much more bluish and reminds me more of neon light. I use them in both my kitchen in the food prep area and in the laundry room where accurate color rendering is important. Unlike many LED bulbs I've bought, they come in one piece like a traditional glass halogen bulb. This is important to me because many other brands literally fall apart trying to screw them into the socket and I've even had parts fall out while using them. The casual observer, looking at this lamp both when it is switched off and when it is in operation, will probably hardly suspect that it is an LED. Considering it's a premium bulb, three packs at $5 a bulb is great value, especially considering they last about 10 years. Of course, there is not a single perfect thing on our planet, and sometimes it can be broken or damaged during installation by the user. This is no reason to underestimate it, just contact them for a replacement. I don't think Philips intentionally makes defective lamps. Overall, of the many different brands I've bought over the years, these are by far the best I've found.
