I have the phillip hue bulbs, 4 of them, the color changy ones. I wish they wre brighter, only go up to like 800 lumens i think. but i mostly use the colors in low light settings any ways so isnt that big of a deal breaker for me and my personal needs.

westinghouse isnt the same company.
for more than the last 20 years the "westinghouse" name has been passed around like a cheap whore to several chink companies so they can sell /csg/ in the united states and trick us into buying it.

>>61629078
I have like half a dozen of Osram and they do 2560 lumens and consume like 12W, love them aside the fact that they do yellow light at 2700K... i would kill for them doing either 3000K or colder bulbs at the same brigtness

>>61629614
I wont buy GE bulbs. They lie about how long they last and half of their bulbs transformers just burn the extra electric off as heat.

>>61629078
I have phillips bulbs for really bright shit, and everything else is currently using home depots house brand. iirc its called "EcoSmart"

They are both holding up good, but the phillips (100 watt equivalent - 1500 lumens per bulb) base of the bulb are turning yellow probably from heat. Im not too worried about it though and it isnt half as bad as the cheap shit cfls I had before.

Just buy chinkshit leds

wtf is hd light

>>61629956
It's what GE calls CRI90 bulbs.

>>61629078
>America still advertises lighting by Wattage not by Lumens
How quaint.

>>61630914
Well at least it's required by law to put the lumen rating on the packaging nowadays.

You should think of it as a money making opportunity.

I've been using the cheapshit walmart ones for a few years without issue. 5000K for my work lamps and 2700K for the living spaces. The incandescents on my track lighting have started burning out and they use an odd connector instead of a screw thread, I've been replacing those with Ikea LEDs instead.

>>61632335
I personally find Ikea's 2700K's to be a little too yellow.
I have them outside since they work well for that, but I'd hate them inside.

Philips 3000K all through inside.

I haven't really noticed that, but I've only just started replacing the kitchen track lighting as it fails, and that's the only place I'm using Ikea so far. I built this place two years ago, so I'm only just coming up on the lifespan of the ones in the kitchen. The larger bulbs are all walmart shit.

>>61632253
40 lumens per watt is pretty abysmal, but the blatant lying about it being a 100W replacement with 40W-tier lumen output is just disgusting.

>>61633183
at only 40 lumens a watt any florescent bulb would be better

>>61633245
Well efficiency isn't everything.

t. someone who still uses incandescent lighting almost exclusively

>>61629078
Philips.

The color temperature they indicate on the box is actually the color temperature of the bulb unlike with other manufacturers.

>>61633288
Problem isn't the lighting, the problem is you and your neuroticism.

Go see a psychiatrist, you OCD freak.

2200k leds from ikea baby
comfy af

>>61633343
The electricity to power my incandescent lamps is way cheaper than a psychiatrist.

>>61633356
Atleast its more heat in the winter, 400w of incandescent lamps in a fixture plus Nvidia fermi graphics card kept it nice and warm that few times it got cold

Philips LED Warm Glow Dimmable Light Bulb

Really good and work with any shitty dimmer.

Looking for non-dimmable GU-10s with a good beam angle and also some dimmable one as well actually.

>>61633420
>Really good and work with any shitty dimmer.
You should watch a teardown of these on YouTube. They work with any dimmer because they use a digital PFC controller that guesses what kind of dimmer you have based on the incoming wave form. Shit's legit space magic. Most PCs don't have a power supply this complicated.

I just the ones they have at IKEA and they seem fine.

Does anyone notice the difference between CRI80, 85, and 90? Is it a meme?

>>61629078
I use halogen.

>>61629078
they still advertise them as "17W, equivalent to 100W!", there's a fucking unit for luminosity already for fucks sake

>>61637151
Burgers don't know wtf a lumen is.

>>61629078
>LED light bulbs

An standard Fluorescent tube (t8) can produce over 90 lumens per watt and has a higher life time. If you can find a Led Light bulb more efficient at the same price go for it.

Protip you cant.

have you tried google?

https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-92283-replacement-1200-lumen/dp/B0183I70VW

assuming that number is correct, which i doubt, you are forgetting that : 1) ballast sucks about 10-20 watt also + there's an overall big peak consumption right when you turn on the light till it stabilizes

>glass that easily breaks
You are supposed to install them on a protective case
>UV light ruining everything
>Mercury
Those are valid
>60Hz buzz
Electronic ballast are a thing

This is also valid

$3 per tube vs $12

>1) ballast sucks about 10-20 watt + there's an overall big peak consumption right when you turn on the light

Electronic ballast are a thing
