Review on ๐ŸŒŸ Experience Gentle Illumination with Philips 454546 Dimmable WarmGlow 2200K 2700K Bulb by Jose Gerber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Philips winner

We were looking for MR-16 incandescent bulbs that can mimic the look of MR-16 halogen bulbs on a dimmer. If you look at 3000K incandescent bulbs (readily available in major stores) they do NOT have the same color balance as same sized halogen bulbs! You become too white. At full brightness, these Warm Glow bulbs match the color of halogen bulbs. They're as bright as the 50-watt halogen MR-16s. And here's the second part: Incandescent bulbs (of which halogen is a sub-type) get redder as they dim. It's just part of the look and feel and behavior we've been looking for (and found impossible) in LED lighting. Here it is. These lamps do not dim as much as incandescent lamps, but within their range they mimic the behavior of an incandescent lamp very well. So we swapped out all the MR-16 halogens in the living room and kitchen, increasing the total output from 850 watts to around 100 watts without changing the overall effect. I recommend it.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
