My wife is very sensitive to bad light we've never had CFLs for that reason but she never noticed when I bought this and put it in our main living room lamp for two weeks. I plan to get several more. Lovely light.

These are good, but don't match the efficacy of the Phillips Award Winning LED, which is a much lighter yellow. Also, the yellow color when turned off is an issue in some lighting fixtures. We found that the Cree A-lamp LED replacements were better and cheaper for most of our applications.

I bought 5 bulbs for a hanging dining room fixture. My biggest complaint is they are not fully dimmable. Move the dimmer 1/4 and the bulbs start flickering. Lower dim further increases flicker. I purchased other LED bulbs after these for 1/2 the price and which are fully dimmable and also have nice bright light. My best success/dollar has been with dimmable Utilitech LED bulbs, 800 lumen. They dim completely, very bright and about $12.

Honest reviews on Philips 422238 8-Watt A19 LED Light Bulb, Dimmable

I bought these to replace incandescent bulbs and they work great. Very low power consumption and heat output, but a little bigger than an incandescent. The yellow shell is a little funky, but it really does shine with a white cast. The only drawback is that some times you can see a little of the yellow through the lamp shade or globe. We noticed a drop in our monthly electric bill when we switched to all LED bulbs, although with the prices it will be longer than I like before we recoup our cost. Eventually the bulb will still pay for itself though. And all of the Philips bulbs that claim to be dimmable really are dimmable. People that have had issues are probably using cheap dimmers. Heath-Zenith and Levitron dimmers work fine with these bulbs.

The main reason Phillips created this bulb is to have an energy saving bulb that's compatible with all incandescent lights. They did really well, and it does use a lot less energy. It looks different, space age in a way, compared to the antiquated glass bulbs. It's also very durable: I have dropped these onto my wood floor and it works fine.

But the best part about this is the life. I haven't had to replace this bulb since I first installed a similar one by them a year and a half ago. My light fixtures require screws to remove, and sometimes i would go a whole week without changing a burnt bulb because of the frustration of having to change it. Not having to change a bulb for years, maybe even over a decade (if you live or work in the same place that long) is a huge convenience, and pays for the bulb in both actual savings and time spent.
