Review on πŸ•―οΈ Enhanced Philips LED Dimmable Candle Effect by David Ruwala

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product. Philips refused to provide the guarantee. But the seller (JDP) did the right thing.

Good product. Works well in my chandelier which has a dozen of these bulbs. A few caveats. Light-emitting diodes in transparent glass of light yellow colour. Some people may not like the looks. The lamps are well dimmed by a dimmer, but not in the same way as incandescent lamps. When you dim the light, the light level drops, but the color doesn't change (doesn't turn yellow). Some may like it, some may not. After 2-3 months of use, two light bulbs stopped working normally. They flickered and went out, and after a while they lit up again. Wrote to Philips for warranty service. After a couple of weeks they responded with about 20 questions about how and where to use it etc. Then they basically told me to look into it because I bought from a third party. I wrote to the seller, JDP Lighting And Hardware, and they responded quickly with credit for the two faulty bulbs. Five Star Service from JDP.

Pros
  • Premium Philips LEDs switch on instantly for flicker-free, energy-saving natural light that uses 4 times less energy than incandescent lamps, half the energy of halogen lamps and lasts 10 or 4 times longer. Philips LEDs contain no mercury and therefore do not generate hazardous waste.
Cons
  • Expensive
