Review on πŸ’‘ Optimized Philips BR40 LED Flood Light Bulb by Paul Letho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The product matched the description. However. who knew.

*** LESSON LEARNED! Actually a few. ***1) I've seen a lot of people ask what the lightbulbs say if they have anything printed on them. The last update was 2 years ago so here are photos of the ones I got. 2) I assumed the lamp/packaging would state it was dimmable when in fact it was. Apparently, this is an urban legend. ;) Packaging and bottle are not specified. somewhere. I went back and re-read the description and looked at the product image and the notification area says "dimmable" but nowhere else. 3) I want you to know how long these bulbs will last; However, it turns out that indoor spotlights come in different sizes. and they don't match any of the lamps in my parents' house. I just thought you need to differentiate between internal and external flooding. And incandescent lamps from the LED. And of course electricity! nope! There is more than one size of indoor spotlight that is indistinguishable to the untrained eye or someone who is told to just buy some living room spotlights! Look inside the lamp and you will see a sticker that states the maximum power depending on the different lamp options. While the BR was the most important specification detail, the BR30 proved crucial. BR40 are Revain lamps. and they are HUGE! 4) I gave 5 stars for my rating because the bulbs were at a great price and packaged very well! Almost too good. Here are a few photos.

Pros
