Philips LED Basic Frosted Non-Dimmable A19 Light Bulb - EyeComfort Technology - 800 Lumen - Soft White (2700K) - 10W=60W - E26 Base - Old Version - Indoor - 16-Pack

Bought 4 of the 16 packs. As of right now I will give them 5 stars I've used about 24 of them and have yet to have a DOA or issue with any of them in the week I've used them. They were replacements for traditional halogens and there color matches them pretty well but they are noticeably brighter, the picture I took shows a bit too much yellow which isn't the case in real life. As for reliability I will update my review if I notice any issues in the coming months and continue converting the rest of my house. I have no flicker or buzzing issues, and all of them seem genuine and show the Phillips logo on the sides. It should also be noted the boxes for these show a 10 year life span at 3 hours a day usage. Much less than the industry average which is odd but acceptable for this price range, that estimate seems much more realistic as well. I'm more interested on how its electronics will last in the long term. We shall see and I will update my review if any fail in the next year Update 09/29/2019: Have had these since Decembers of 2018 and only had one go out so far around July due to being on a bad dimmer switch (not designed to be on them I know) It started flickering quite bad in any light bulb socket. After deploying them in my entire house, my entire house is now LED only and with Cree or Philips bulbs. These are a great affordable bulb and because they've lasted without problem for 8 months, I can surely recommend them. Update 06/2023: Still have these bulbs and no issues and have only had to replace one that started flickering. These bulbs converted my whole house to led only and my monthly electric bill was improved. Excited to see how much better the technology gets when these sets start to burn out.

Love these Phillips 60watt bulbs. I have over 70 of these in service throughout my house for over 2 years and not a single one has failed or dimmed (that I can tell), including in some totally enclosed fixtures which you aren't supposed to do for heat and lifetime reasons. These have paid for them selves several time over in energy savings I'm sure. Getting on my soapbox for a second...there have been reviews that argue about the 10 year 'rated' life of these vs other bulbs. Keep in mind that LED bulbs in 10 years are likely to be more efficient and cheaper than today. So, it makes absolutely no sense to pay 5x the price for a bulb that supposedly will last 15 more years. In fact when I first started buying this bulb 2 years ago they were $2.50 per bulb (which I thought was a smoking deal), and the batch I just bought on Amazon was just slightly over $1.50 per bulb. The exact same bulb already dropped in price by 40%!!! My only wish? Drop 2700K. That is legacy because we're used to it from years of incandescent lighting. Please switch wholesale to 3000-3500K bulbs instead of 2700K. The 5000K bulbs are too blue, and the 2700K bulbs are a little yellow. 3000-3500K light would be more like halogens which is still warm, but a little more like sunlight. Addendum 3/7/2019 Be careful! I recently ordered more. At least when I ordered, there were two types of these non-dimmable 60W equivalent Phillips bulbs under this listing depending on what size pack you purchase. Both put out 800 lumens and are 2700K color temperature light. The similarity ends there. Type 1) plastic bulb with a ceramic base and draw 8.5W Type 2) glass bulb that draws 7W My house is full of the 1) variety with the plastic bulb for the past 4 years. Not a single bulb has died. They are great. I just ordered the 24 pack listed here and they were the 2) variety with glass bulb. To test I put one in a side-by-side, identical, fixture with the old bulbs and WOW the light was awful. These 2) variety type put out really yellow light. Again, both are rated at 2700k and hence 'should' look similar. I believe the LED technology is not the same in these two varieties. So, if you like REALLY yellow light, then get the type 2) with frosted glass and drawing 7W. If you want warm, but whiter light, then you want type 1) with frosted plastic and drawing 8.5W. I had to return the 24-pack. Can't live with that yellow of light. Addendum 3/11/19: I bought some more of the 1) 8.5W bulbs somewhere else and they are pretty yellow too. Something has changed for the worse. Either Phillips has significant variation in color temperature from batch to batch or something has changed. I liked the color temperature of the first batches I received.

I replaced every 60w bulb in my house with these bulbs. The color and brightness is great. It's 2700 kelvin like the incandescent bulbs but it is slightly whiter than mine were. I like the color and brightness of these better. At about $2 per bulb I thought these were a great deal for Philips bulbs. I wanted to go with a reputable brand since I was buying so many, and didn't want to try out different bulb companies. I bought 80 bulbs, going from 4800 watts from the incandescent bulbs to just 680 watts in total with these LEDs (not that we use all the lights at one time). I estimate it will be a couple of years to break even. But the lighting is nicer, less electricity used, and I likely won't have to replace a bulb within 10 years. Of all 80 bulbs, I had one that didn't light up.

UPDATE: I ordered the SOFT WHITE and these bulbs are much better. They are BRIGHTER than a 60 watt incandescent but use only 7 watts. Slightly yellower in hue that an incandescent bulb, but unless you are a Broadway lighting designer, I doubt you will notice. I am happy with the "SOFT WHITE" (whatever that means) bulbs. ALSO: These are not dimmable. When attached to a tabletop dimmer switch they flashed on and off. DO NOT ORDER THE DAYLIGHT BULBS UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING A DENTISTS OFFICE! This has a horrible blue color like a COOL WHITE florescent bulb and will make you and your house look UGLY. If you are running a hospital, auto repair shop, veterinary office, dental office or other INDUSTRIAL FACILITY these might be OK. For your bathroom or home? Shows EVERY SPECK OF DIRT and makes everyone look 10 YEARS OLDER. I reordered these as SOFT WHITE but is that the same as WARM WHITE? Who knows? Phillips makes up their own terms here, instead of using industry terms COOL WHITE and WARM WHITE, so you have no way of knowing what spectrum you are getting. All I can say is, DAYLIGHT is hideous and unlike daylight on any planet other than Pluto. I suppose I can use these bulbs in my garage or in a closet or workshop, but they are USELESS for home use. Very disappointed in Amazon on this order! Items missing from box, shown as "delivered" and items I never ordered were shipped.

This review is for the soft white 16 pack of the 60-Watt equivalent LED bulbs. First I've been converting all the lights in my house to LED over the last 2 years. Finally decided to finish it off. These bulb are the closest I've found to the old filament style soft whit bulbs. They are a vast improvement over all the florescent or CFL out presently. The bulb give a very nice diffused whit light without the blue or green tinge I've come to expect from CFL. This is especially nice in the bathroom for women putting on makeup and checking the match of your clothes. The CFL just give the wrong tinge that hides things you see in sunlight. After replacing the lights in my fans (filament and CFL) for something like the fifth or sixth time that year (my ceiling fan is 14-feet in the air in the living room) I had it. I started looking and got some LED lights. Had to get a converter for the plug as I wanted to only have to go to a single style bulb (these) for both consistence and price. When I started they were significantly more expensive. To date I have not needed to replace any of the LED bulbs in my house. We recently replaced the fixtures in the bathroom and I made this purchase to finish off any non LED lights in the house. 60-Watts for me is a great level for me as not too bright for indoor use like the 90-100-Watt equivalents are. These are soft white so its not so harsh as 60-Watt regular (think this the daylight version) which are hard to look at directly. This can be an issue depending on lights in your house (lamps, spots, etc) Do not make the mistake that these are non-heat they are much cooler than CFL and vastly cooler than filament. They have a minimal heat 2-3 degrees which for many purposes is no heat. This is on the casing of the bulb. I understand from a friend who didn't replace the broken plastic that they can hurt. I have no intention of finding this out for myself. In areas where multiple bulbs are located you may want to check on a lower equivalent. 4x 60 for my fan in the bedroom is a lot. The 6x (two sets of 3 bulbs each) in the bathroom is shockingly bright. My wife loves it. I could have gone for 40-Watt and found that acceptable. Pros: bright clear soft white color, to date none have needed replacing, noticeably cooler than florescent and substantially cooler than filament (see above though) Cons: price while good is still more than CFL may balance in the long run as I haven't needed to replace even one yet.

I really like that LED bulbs are getting less and less expensive. I have now replaced virtually every bulb in my home with LEDS, getting rid of the noisy curly-q fluorescent ones that had replaced the incandescent versions. The only non-LED bulbs I have left are some halogen kitchen bulbs over the sink. They will eventually be replaced but I don't want to pay for a new fixture yet. Anyway, the bulbs themselves seem to be high quality, it's a simple replacement, as easy as changing a light bulb. I still go around the house turning off the lights that my son leaves on but I am comforted knowing that if I miss one, I will not go to the poorhouse paying for the extra electricity. I hope these will last five years and will update as they die off but for now, they get a five star rating from me.

Leave a comment if you have any questions and I can either take some photos or give more details. This was a good quick and easy upgrade from the CFL's that were previously installed. Each LED bulb was about 5 watts less then the one it replaced so there was about 33% reduction in energy use. We found no single brand bulb and brightness worked for us and needed to buy several different types. I'll go into that below. The biggest show stopper for some of these bulbs is if you want the bulb to be dimable. Make sure you plan ahead and get dimable bulbs. Non-dimable LED bulbs will not work properly when you try and dim them. In my photo you can see; Left LED bulb; Phillips 450 lumen soft white (40w) bright, but not too bright. Middle LED bulb; Phillips 800 lumen soft white (60w) a lot of light, warmer feel. Right LED bulb; LE 810 lumen warm white (60w) more light, colder feel. This should give you a decent comparison between the different bulbs and what their level of brightness is. The Phillips bulbs are slightly shorter then normal bulbs so unlike the LE we were able to replace some of the shorter CFL's in smaller light fixtures without having to buy dedicated short bulbs again. We chose the 450 lumen 40w replacement LED bulbs for exposed bulb fixtures like ceiling fans so they are not painful if you look at one. This also went in the "powder room" bathroom. This did not put out enough light for a bedside lamp. It felt too dim. No more blinding effect when looking up at the ceiling fan in the living room! Some lamps and room ceiling lights got the LE warm whites where the bulbs needed a little more output to get through the frosted glass. The walk in closet was one of those spots. Kitchen lights and upstairs bathrooms got the Philips soft white bulbs where a less "cold" light then the LE was needed but still brighter light for recipe reading, food prep, getting ready etc would be wanted. We also put this bulb in the bed side lamps for a brighter but warmer feeling. I would buy these bulbs again.

There are several incandescent light bulbs in my house that were here when I moved in January of 2018. I bought this pack of LED light bulbs in April of 2018. As of this morning, ALL of those incandescent light bulbs have out lived every single one of these LED bulbs. The color and brightness are great, I love that they're LED so easier on the electric bill. But, and it's a big but based on the claims made here, they honestly last 6 months to a year, max. The first one went out maybe 4 months after I put it in, I chalked it up to a bad bulb. But since then they have all died one by one. The non LED bulbs in my house are my only consistent light bulbs. I don't know how they measure the supposed life span to make their claims, but I can tell you I'm using them in a normal household. I'm in Texas, so plenty of daylight during the day, lights don't general come on until dusk and then go off for bed just a few hours later. Seems very minimal, and yet I can't keep these light bulbs alive. I don't know, maybe they're still worth the price, but I just get frustrated number 1 changing light bulbs all the time and number 2 with companies that make false claims and get by with it.
