Philips has appear two new LED bulbs for residential use that accept the abeyant to add some fun and personality to your space.
We accept advised Philips LED bulbs in the accomplished and had a abundant experience, so back the aggregation at Philips accomplished out to us about the new bulbs, we agilely agreed to run them through the paces.
First up — the new Philips 60 watt agnate bottle LED with the “warm afterglow effect.” This ball has the attending of the old-school, visible-filament bulbs that accept become so accepted in hipster coffee shops about the world. While in Cyprus aftermost week, we commented on aloof how accustomed they were in avant-garde 3rd beachcomber cafes. The downside of acceptable bulbs like this is that, to attending old school, they’ve had to be old-school beaming bulbs — until today.

As LED bulbs accept appear of age, the association who anatomy them accept dreamed up new means for us to collaborate with and ablaze our spaces, and these are absolutely that. There are added LED bulbs on the bazaar that actor the aftereffect of these old-school bulbs, but the accuracy of the bottle and the conciseness of the filaments in these Philips bulbs accomplish them angle out aloof a bit added in my opinion.
Compared to a commensurable ball I best up at IKEA (which has been an abrupt apostle for able lighting for years) that alone uses 1.8 watts, these bulbs alcohol adeptness at 8.5 watts anniversary at abounding brightness. That access in adeptness burning delivers a anatomic bulk of ablaze achievement at 800 lumens. Conversely, the IKEA ball is finer a absolutely adorning bulb.
The Philips Balmy Afterglow ball is additionally dimmable, which is a exceptional affection not begin in best LED bulbs on the market. That gives owners the adeptness to accomplished tune the bulk of ablaze to actualize aloof the appropriate mood. I’m not that affectionate of person, but my accomplice may or may not be addition who enjoys that akin of nuance.

You can get added advice on these bulbs over on the Home Depot folio for them, area they advertise for about $6 per bulb.
Philips additionally aloof brought its new SceneSwitch LED ball to the market. On the surface, this is aloof your boilerplate BR30 bulb, which is congenital to be acclimated in can lights about the apple … but additionally has a ambush up its sleeve. Back installed, the blush temperature of the ball can be afflicted with a quick toggling of the ablaze switch.
The action feels actual analog compared to some of the newer, affiliated bulbs advancing out, but at the aforementioned time, it is a actual simple function, so why accomplish it added complicated than it has to be with an app or alien control? The blush temperature alone changes with a quick toggling of the ablaze switch, so it won’t abide to change blush temperature every time you about-face on the light, which is abundant because that would drive me nuts.
At first, I was agnostic of the function, but the added I played with it and acclimated it in circadian life, the added I enjoyed it. We accept it in the accomplished cartage area in the abode — amid our TV allowance and our kitchen — and it’s nice to be able to balmy up and aged out the ablaze by putting it in balmy approach back the TV is on, again air-conditioned it bottomward a bit later. I’ve begin that lighting has a massive aftereffect on how alive my anatomy thinks I am or should be and the adeptness to adapt the lighting temperature helps me affluence off appear beddy-bye time or deathwatch up added abruptly in the morning.

Head over to the artefact folio on Home Depot’s armpit for added advice on the ball or to acquirement some for about $11 per bulb.
