PHILIPS LED 65 W BR40 Ultra Definition Light Bulbs, Soft White, 4-Pack

I needed a new bulbs to replace some 10 year old LED bulbs that started to develop flickers or turning off from overheating. These bulbs are great, they are a color match for the other 2700K bulbs I have and dim very well on my Lutron Caseta dimmers. As long as I get the 10 years I got out of the Sylvania bulbs they will have been worth it.

This review is for BR40, 65W-equivalent, 800 Lumen, 2700K version: I am beyond enthusiastic about these LED light bulbs. They are a dream come true. I like them so much and felt such inspired by them that I could hardly wait to share my positive review. These LED light bulbs absolutely look and feel like incandescent lights! I tried running them alongside with similarly frosted incandescent lights and it is hard to tell the difference; hard to tell, which one I prefer more. They are THAT much alike. Needels to say, the color temperature is a perfect match. Unlike some other LED bulbs that are currently on the market, these start not only WITHOUT a flash, these start with a speedy, yet incremental increase of output. On the other hand, when turning them off, they turn off with a speedy dim. Have I mentioned how beautiful and warming the output is? I will definitely keep ordering more of these. Recommended to friends only.

Bought a set of 4 of these. Because I didn't get around to using the last one until a year after ordering, I didn't find out until just now that one of them is defective. You can hear something tumbling around inside the bulb. No way to return or exchange since it has been so long.

Absolutely stopped the flickering from the local substation when it switches loads over!

I replaced about about 10 canned lights in my kitchen with these. They are on dimmers and can vary from quite bright to quite dim. They don't protrude from the canned fixtures, but they extend further than the previous PAR 30s did. That helps provide more light in the kitchen, but at their brightest setting they produce more glare at an angle.

I'll always prefer the "warmth" of incandescent bulbs but that's not an option anymore. I've tried numerous soft white LED bulbs hoping to get that incandescent glow. Philips Ultra Definition is the bulb that hits the mark for me. Whether the bulb is for recessed in the kitchen or a lamp in a bedroom, this is the warmest light bulb I have found. The only brand of bulb I would happily purchase again.

One of the bulbs was defective and I would like to replace just one or reimburse for just 1 of 8 bulb order

I only buy Philips Ultra-Definition after a comparison test showed they're the best combination of: no flicker, colour accuracy, and energy efficiency. they've lived up to my expectations for the past 2 years.
