Review on πŸ’‘ Brilliant and Energy-Efficient Philips 60W Equivalent White Light Bulb by Richard Gross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is now the default bulb for every light in my house

About a year ago I bought a pack of these bulbs to try with a few lights. Not only were these bulbs inexpensive, I couldn't tell the difference between these bulbs and a 100w incandescent bulb. Philips has done a good job of achieving the colour, warmth and brightness of a standard incandescent bulb. Two months ago I bought 8 packs of these bulbs to replace every light in my house. At around $3 per bulb, this was an inexpensive way to make my entire home more energy efficient and I'm seeing immediate returns on my utility bills. This product also has a lifespan of 10 years (based on 3 hours of use per day). I doubt I'll have to touch any lights any time soon, like incandescent or fluorescent lights. Pros: * Energy efficient (power consumption 8.5W) * 10 year lifespan (assuming 3 hours use per day) * Color equivalent to an incandescent bulb * Brightness equivalent to a 100W incandescent bulb (60W brightness is stated on the packaging, but honestly I'm thinking more of 100W brightness) Disadvantages: * Expensive acquisition costs, which are quickly compensated by energy savings.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
