Reviews of Sylvania 78494 15 Watt Ultra LED PAR30 Dimmable Long Neck Halogen

Customer Ratings:

PROS:

-Bright, soft-white light (like a halogen bulb: 3,000k) and actually has a WIDE-BEAM flood pattern (40 degrees) -Most are narrow (25 degrees).

-Dimmable (unlike most CFL's (compact fluorescent twist bulbs). However, because these are low wattage bulbs, you need to replace your analog incandescent dimmer with a digital dimmer made for LED's or CFL's, like Lutron DVWCL-153PH-WH Diva Dimmable CFL/LED Dimmer with Wallplate, White. Otherwise this bulb may flicker or dim only partway.

-NO WARM UP TIME! Flip the switch and they are FULL BRIGHTNESS! They don't need several minutes to warm-up like CFL's. I have one in a recessed can over my front porch and even in the coldest of nights (10 degrees F.) they are full brightness as soon as they turn on. This is a huge advantage over CFL bulbs.

CONS:

-It is NOT "Instant-On" as it's advertised. After flipping the switch, it takes about 1/2 a second for them to illuminate. But this is par for the course (for now), all comparable LED bulbs on the market have the same delay.

BOTTOM LINE:

-These are expensive, but you get what you pay for. I tried Utilitech and it started flickering after a month. Sylvania is one of the global leaders in LED technology. Expect the price to continue to drop as the technology advances.

The dimming action is flawless. This is the first LED I have found that can adequately replace a 50W halogen. It also generates less heat than any other LED brand I've tried. Nice job Sylvania!

I bought eight of these for my flood lighting in my dining room. They provide adequate lighting and save us quite a bit on electricity costs. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Sylvania 78494 15 Watt Ultra LED PAR30 Dimmable Long Neck Halogen

I purchased this Sylvania LED Flood Light at Lowe's (which was more expensive than Amazon). I am a BIG fan of Sylvania products, and their LED lights are the best in my opinion. I purchased this flood light to replace the Compact Fluorescent bulb over my sink.

The Light output is EXCELLENT! Very bright, and just what I wanted over the dull compact fluorescent. However, my only complaint is the beam is highly focused on one spot, so it has a very small beam angle. Unfortunately, I want a light that brightens a larger area.

If you need a LED that focuses on a small area this LED light is for you.

I purchased one of these lights at my Lowe's store. The light it gives off is "Awesome". Before this light, my wife would complain about the poor lighting for reading. Now she says the print "Jumps" off the pages. So I bought three more bulbs from Amazon and am totally satisfied. Plus they are a lot cheaper here than in Lowe's. The amount of time these bulbs are supposed to last, and the "LITTLE"amount of power used for these bulbs, makes it worth looking into purchasing these bulbs.
