Reviews of QTY 4 / 417048 Philips Ambient LED Light Bulb - Dimmable - 40 Watt

Customer Ratings:

I purchased another brand of LED bulbs at Home Depot for a dimmable ceiling fan/light fixture. My wife immediately noticed them and complained that the light they produced was too harsh. Dimming them wasn't an option because it didn't change the color of the light, and when dimmed they generated a loud buzzing sound. So I purchased these to see if they would be more like the incandescent bulbs I was replacing, only much more efficient. These are much, much better. They look funky when they're not turned on (they're noticeably yellow) and they do buzz a little when dimmed (hardly noticeable when the room is completely quite), but the light they produce is much more like what's created by an incandescent bulb. They're a little expensive, but worth the money.

Have been searching for LED replacements for the various applications in our home. So far most of the light has been too bright, too blue, or just spooky.

These bulbs are at the other end of the spectrum. A bit too dim for our use, very yellow. My wife says they look like cf"s that are still warming up.

Compared to 40 watt Sylvania soft white standard bulb and could not tell the difference. Most LED bulbs do not distribute light evenly and make poor choices for lamps or other fixtures that point up. These are the exception and send light in all directions. Do not be concerned about the Yellow exterior, these bulbs produce soft white light.

These are pretty heavy and feel well built. They are in retail packaging and were shipped in flawless condition.

Have not tested them in a dimmer or outdoors.

Highly recommeded so far.

I have purchased several of these bulbs and found them to be very nice replacements for incandescent bulbs. I am using these in living room fixtures and in our bedroom nightstands. They are dimmable and unlike other brands of dimmable bulbs I have purchased, these do not buzz when dimmed. I recommend these Philips bulbs, even though they are a bit more expensive than other brands of LED bulbs. Don't be put off by the yellow top of the bulb when lit, they have the color of a regular incandescent bulb.

These bulbs are more on the warm side than bright. The lighting is ample and efficient. I purchased 10 of these for my place and already seen a drop in power use even though i leave them on a lot.
