Review on πŸ’‘ Philips 419549 Halogen PAR30L Equivalent Bulb by Todd Nordine

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The bulb body sits very snugly against the inner frame making it almost impossible to get a good grip to unscrew

After installing some Halo (Home Depot) recessed lighting in my kitchen and living room I found that standard PAR30s bulbs are VERY difficult to remove once burned out. The bulb body fits very tightly to the inner frame, making it almost impossible to get a good grip to unscrew it. PAR30L is an extended version of the same lamp. The lamp's neck is about 10-15mm longer allowing them to sit a bit lower in the fixture (less aperture and better illumination!) and making them much easier to remove when they finally burn out and need replacing PAR30 and choose the PAR30L. It's a small dimensional change, but depending on your application, it can make a world of difference!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Some difficulties
