Philips LED Classic 4.6 W (50 W) GU10 Glass Spot Light, Halogen Replacement - Cool White

Fed up with the yellowish light coming from a set of 5 Philips 2700k LED's I fitted a while ago in my white kitchen I ordered a set of 5 of these new type glass ones from Amazon. I'm not sure if the old ones were becoming more yellow with time (but they seemed to be in my opinion) and they also seemed to be losing their lighting brightness. They were easy to fit, exactly the right size for my recessed GU10 lampholders in the ceiling and these new ones are made from glass, not like the plastic ones I removed so that was pleasing for safety if there ever was a fault. They are a great deal brighter than the LED's they replaced, and a perfect white light (4000k) as opposed to the yellowish ones they replaced (2700k). My kitchen has never been lit so well and it seems to be a more natural light and food and fruit looks much better than before. The kitchen looks like new now and much more modern than with the yellowish glow. Very well pleased with this colour, it just feels like daylight on a good sunny day. I'll be changing some other lamps in the house to 4000k now as it also seems to help me see much better as I age (my eyes arent as great as they used to be)!

First up 2 out of 6 bulbs were damaged on delivery but refund on those was easy so didn’t lose out there. Previously I’d thought wide angle lights were good to get better coverage across the room but what that also means is they’re more blinding and you have to keep your gaze away from the lights. These bulbs are not wide angle so glare is much less of a problem. The ‘cool white’ really suits a kitchen. It is bright and lively without being stark. I’ve tried several different colours previously from different brands and in a clean environment like a kitchen it’s nice not to be yellowy but also not sterile with too harsh a light. For me this is a happy middle ground that really does make the room feel comfortably airy. Also, no flicker to that some lights might have. Not sure how long these will last but aside from the originally damaged bulbs, none have gone yet, touch wood. Overall, will but again, hopefully not too soon.

If you (or your family) like plenty of light in the kitchen/hall-ways/utility-rooms/bathroom where I think warm-white (even 'neutral' or 3000k) is too yellow - and you have GU10 then this is a really great LED. At almost 400lm this puts out serious amount of light and may even be too bright! If you have few sockets then a few of these - e.g. 3 in a bathroom - are more than enough for almost daylight brightness and will certainly 'wake you up' if that's what you need in the morning! If you have say 6-8 then perhaps the 300lm lower-power version is more suitable unless it is a really big room. They are not dimmable. They are not quite the feel of 'Master LED' versions. But they are solid/glass and seem destined to last. I think for what you're getting - 400lm brand-name 5 quid is a good deal.

It is a good, bright bulb and I am certain it would serve for years saving energy = money on daily basis, however, there is one big BUT. The light this product emits is not really cool nor cold. It is a standard GU10 energy-saving bulb from a well known manufacturer (reliability comes from here), but the light from it has a yellowish shade. So if you are after a truly ice cold white light - look somewhere else.

Bulb is actually an F not A , how the seller has marked it on the page . You definitely won’t save money on energy with those bulbs .

Wow! As the moment I first turned these lights on after changing out my old IKEA bulbs with same Wattage output as these (equivalent to 50W) I couldn't really believe that I got MUCH more light from Philips. 4000K is the light color and is amazingly clear to the old warm white 2700K IKEA bulbs.

Beautiful colour. Delivered early. Exactly the right bulbs too. Urgently needed 4 as 3 had not been working for a while and I was beginning to panic! My home looks so different now, like new and if needed will definitely buy more of these in this colour, ("Cool White") one day.

Vraiment satisfait. J'espère que la durée de vie promise sera effective. Auquel cas, c'est une réelle économie tout en préservant la planète.

Prodotto assolve egregiamente al compito. Utilizzato per la sostituzione di vecchi faretti alogeni ad incasso da 50w offre la medesima quantità di luce (forse anche maggiore) azzeccato anche il colore non troppo freddo molto gradevole; sia spenti che accesi non si intravedono i punti luce all'interno; direi di ottima fattura anche se non son proprio un'esperto, di semplicissima installazione, si allacciano direttamente alla rete 220v Consigliato l'acquisto

La compré para utilizarla en una lámpara para lectura y es muy luminosa. Diría que demasiado para una lámpara de lectura pero para utilizar en cualquier otra, está muy bien. Además, gasta poquísimo. He leído opiniones de que duran poco, pero yo la tengo ya unos 4 meses aproximadamente y, de momento, no he tenido ningún problema con ella. Y eso que la uso bastante a diario...

Faretti fatti bene e tutti funzionanti (vedremo nel tempo ...) per mio gusto sono anche troppo forti, ma questo è ovviamente soggettivo proverei a prendere gli stessi, ma magari da 4 W o 4,5 W

Intensité lumineuse impressionnante à tel point. qu’un luminaire équipé d’origine de 4 ampoules classiques est moins performant qu’une seule ampoule LED !
