Review on πŸ’‘ Philips SmartThings Required Dimmable Industrial Electrical Equivalent by Phanikumar Larsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great cheap alternative to Hue bulbs, but not as good as Tradri

Bought these because I don't have time at the moment to run to ikea and needed to quickly install some lightbulbs. They are cheap and very easy to add to my shadow bridge. However, I did notice a few issues compared to the bulbs I received from IKEA. My homeowner has a dimmer on one of our lights, these bulbs flicker really badly because the switch has a dimmer. I also use smart lightbulbs so I can turn my apartment into a nightclub with apps like Hue Disco and Hue Essentials. These bulbs can't flash compared to other bulbs, instead they fade in and out, which is great if you want to glow from the dark, but not so good for the utility I want from them. As far as working as the main bulb connected to a tint bridge, this is a great, very basic bulb.

Pros
  • PREMIUM LIGHT QUALITY: warm white light (2700K) with high brightness (806 lm), excellent color rendering (CRI >80) and deep dimming (100% - 1%) .
Cons
  • boring packaging
