PHILIPS LED Non-Dimmable A19 Frosted Light Bulb: 1500-Lumen, 5000-Kelvin, 14-Watt (100-Watt Equivalent), E26 Medium Screw Base, Daylight, 4-Pack, 455717

These 100-watt-equivalent soft-white bulbs are fantastic. First, they look as bright to me as any 100w incandescent I remember (though I don't actually have any of those around anymore to check), and the color is just right for indoor lighting, all warm and cozy-seeming. It doesn't seem yellow to me, it just seems pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to put these bulbs in any ordinary lamp or fixture that needs a bulb. EVEN BETTER, when I want to bring on the bright, I can use these in places where I used to have to use specialty smaller bulbs, such as a vintage reading lamp that took three max 40w incandescents, or a string of sockets intended for weak little bulbs inside paper lanterns (such as http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T5EBK2O , which I just used to light up a dim and cavernous bedroom, and which takes a max 60w bulb per socket). I can do this because at just 14.5w, they're far less "hazardous" (that is, hot) than the dimmer incandescents that used to go there, and *also* because they're a little smaller than an old standard light bulb. Compact fluorescent bulbs could theoretically do the same low-watt-replacement thing (and are cheaper than LEDs), but they often frustrate by being just a bit too big to fit where you want to put them -- a 100w-equivalent CF coil is out of the question in every lamp I've tried it in, for instance. (Anybody want a like-new 100w CF coil bulb? Never used, just a little dusty... :) And did you notice the price? If you've been shopping for LED bulbs lately, you'll see that these are a pretty impressive deal (at least, they are today -- I know Amazon prices go up and down all the time, so who knows about tomorrow or next month). They are NOT cheap compared to CFs or incandescents or even halogens, of course, but if what you want is LEDs, these are the best quality and the best price I've found, either online or bricks-and-mortar. I should mention that I get no buzzing sounds from mine, as I have done from some older LED bulbs. Do note that you can't use them with dimmers. To conclude, may I say that I recommend them. Photos show: a bulb; a bulb in a hanging fixture turned off; same bulb in same fixture turned on

LED bulbs have FINALLY made it. I've been waiting for that since playing with red LEDs in the mid 1970s! The Philips are the best I've tried and the price per lumen is among the lowest. A ten pack of 40W equivalent bulbs are cheaper but you usually get what you pay for and I think that's true in this case. These bulbs have a very bright color spectrum. It may be a bit too bluish white for some residential applications, but I'm using these bulbs in my office and I like them. I like a lot of light, and this is that! Philips does offer these bulbs in warmer color spectrum, and they still produce a lot of light. I mark the installation date on the compact fluorescent bulbs that I install and they typically do not get anywhere close to the stated lifespan. I've found that LED bulbs last much longer, and I expect these Philips bulbs to last much longer, although it's far too early to tell. I didn't want to delay this review ten years to see if they lasted as long as I expected. The older I get, the more light I need. The light intensity from these energy efficient LED bulbs is high enough that these would be very good in applications where you want a lot of task lighting but not much heat. I plan on using these for lighting in the shop, on various machine tools like milling machines and lathes, but they'd also be great for sewing, crocheting, quilting, etc.

I'm increasing the rating to 5 Stars. Overall, this is a great value and the light output is very reasonable, specially at this price. =========== On paper this bulb promises to generate light output equal to a 100 Watt incandescent bulb (Light output from a 100 watt incandescent bulb is about 1600 Lumens), and this bulb claims to provide 1500 Lumens from mere 14 watts of energy. That is an impressive claim, but it's light output, while brighter than 9 watt or 10 watt led bulbs (equivalent for 60 watt incandescent) its output feels more like a 75 watt incandescent bulb, providing light output of about 1200 lumens. Almost all companies in lighting business seem to exaggerate their product specifications, since it's a victimless crime they get away with it. Overall, it's a good bulb at a reasonable price, while it will provide better light output than 60 watt bulbs, don't expect true 100 watt incandescent performance. It feels more like 75 watts. For example I have a Polaroid brand 30 watt LED bulb and that thing claims to provide 2200 Lumens, but side by side in the same room the Polaroid bulb illuminates at least twice as much. However the cooling fins on that Polaroid bulb is huge and heavy. This bulb provides white light similar in color to bright white quality printer paper or snow ball (about 5000 Kelvin). It maybe good for putting on make up or doing detail work in kitchen but it might feel too sharp for late night relaxing in a living room. You might prefer a warmer color (lower color temperature around 2500K) for late night relaxing situations.

I have been searching for a daylight led bulb for several months with no luck until now . I Put them in my kitchen fixture above table and they are amazing. bright no yellow just what I was wanting . Great product I will defiantly reorder. Thank you thank you

Estos focos son geniales, un solo foco alumbra perfecto un cuarto de 6*6 mts; no se calientan lo cual facilita su manipulación, el color que emiten NO es blanco, es mucho mas parecido al color de luz natural. La verdad estoy encantado de poder alumbrar perfecto 1 cuarto y sala comedor por solo 45 watts, lo que usaba solo para alumbrar el cuarto. muy recomendables.

Los compré para mi habitación e iluminan bastante bien. Tiene cerca de un año medio que los compré a veces parpadean al encenderlos, pero no parece que vayan a fundirse en un buen tiempo

Llegaron en perfecto estado, Philips no desepciona, son tono luz de día, algo amarilloso, comparado con otros focos ahorradores comunes, la iluminación es muchísimo mejor con los philips

Los focos llegaron en el tiempo marcado sin problema. Venían bien empacados. La luz que producen es de 5000k, son blancos con un ligero toque amarillo, excelentes para aquellos que odiamos la luz blanca azulada de hospital. Recomiendo ampliamente. En cuestión al precio me parece un poco elevado pero esperemos la durabilidad los defienda.
