Philips WarmGlow 6 Pack Dimmable [GU10 Spot] LED Light Bulbs, 3.8 W - 50W Equivalent, 2700-2200K. for Relaxed Home Lighting, Standard Warm White

I like Phillips bulbs in general, and I really like these warmglow bulbs that get a warmer colour as they dim to replicate the now banned filament bulbs. Dimmable LED bulbs that stay the same colour have always looked kind of odd colour to me at low levels so I'm glad there's an alternative. I find Philips bulbs also have a good light colour - and it isn't always obvious just how off-colour and greenish some cheaper bulbs are until you put one next to something with a decent colour rending index, like a typical Philips or Osram bulb. These are very bright on maximum, and the colour gets steadily warmer as they dim. We're using lightwave dimmers that are designed for LED bulbs and they're dimming smoothly without flicker and have a full range from the faintest glow to full brightness. Phillips LED dimmable bulbs have always worked great for me when paired with a good dimmer switch. Older dimmers or low quality modern ones can cause lots of problems though with any kind of LED bulb so I suspect the people having issues might need to update their switches. We made the choice to install a dimmer switch on the bathroom lighting. On a very low setting they make good nightlights, and the measured current is about 0.6 watt for each bulb. Their ability to dim very low with a good dimmer switch makes them ideal for pairing with a smart switch to make nightlights in bathrooms and hallways. The energy use is very small and not having to mess around with turning on bright lights in the night is much better for sleeping. We've now had these bulbs for a year and all 14 are still working perfectly.

These Philips WarmGlow GU10s are excellent light bulbs. I’ve spent many years buying different LED bulbs with a huge variation in success. I’m fussy about the light quality that these bulbs produce, and have an aversion to poor quality lighting (colour temperature and CRI). I’ve used various Philips GU10 LEDs in multiple properties for a number of years, and apart from an early generation of 4W MasterLEDs (which all failed within 2 years), the reliability of the later generation bulbs has been excellent (as high as 98% ok after 2 years). I tried these WarmGlow variants in our hallway – a run of 10 bulbs on a dimmer, and am impressed to say the least. On maximum, they are bright, but not harsh (a true warm white, with no hint of the cold/ghost lighting that some earlier LEDs produced), and I’d say they are perfect for an inviting, homely feeling. When dimmed, then it gets really good – as the bulb is dimmed, the colour temperature decreases, giving a much warmer, softer glow – perfect for evenings. We generally leave the bulbs at around 80%, even in the daytime. I’m really pleased with these (you can probably tell), and at £19.99 for 6, will certainly be using more in the future. I don’t work for Philips, and paid for my bulbs in full.

They are excellent LED’s at low levels they give a very orange glow quite accurately replicating the soft glow of Halogens. There’s just one issue I have. They are all in one bar of spot lights and each one turns on at a different light level to the others, so one lights before any of the others then a second and so on till they all light, this is only at a very low level and I suppose it’s just the difference in manufacturing between each lamp but I haven’t had this with other LED’s so that’s disappointing but the kelvin values are correct I would say a lovely 2.2k at low levels perhaps a smidge lower than 2.2

dimmable just what l wanted, nice soft warm light.

I've had dimmable LED bulbs before and have always ended up with that sort of PWM flicker when they're dimmed. I'm really sensitive to it so when I've had other bulbs I never dimmed them as they'd give me a headache. These are the first ones I've used that have ZERO perceptible flicker. They seem to be a bit warmer than other 2700k bulbs I've used, but it's a nice light similar to halogen, and when you dim them the fact that they go down to a warmer 2200k is a really nice feature. Much cosier feeling than other LED bulbs I've used. Brightness is consistent across all bulbs aswell, and they're very bright despite only being rated around 350 lumens. I've got 10 downlights in a 20 sq.m room and I've got them set to around 70% most of the time. Couple downsides - the LED's seem to be all in the centre of the bulb - so you get a brighter centre and then the edge of the bulbs are basically unlit. I'd prefer a more even spread of light when looking at the bulbs (how often do you really look at your ceiling though). The beam angle of 36 degrees also seems a bit shallower than my previous bulbs, even though they were also rated the same. Not a massive difference, but it's there. CRI isn't perfect, and seem to make red stuff pop out a lot. Wouldn't recommend these if you're lighting up some artwork. For a lounge, bedroom, or bathroom though these are great. Nearly identical results to halogen bulbs but at 10% the energy cost.

I really like a warm lightbulb (and absolutely hate white light). But it should be said that these are particularly warm. Worth knowing before buying. Only some will want this.

Good price , they do work with a dimmer switch but not like a typical bulb , they go up and down in stages rather than one fluid motion . No flickering and no noise that I have noticed

Bought for their aesthetic design (silver exterior instead of white), which means they look great and match the ceiling spotlight bars in the living room and bedroom. Bulbs function perfectly with no buzzing or flickering and they give an excellent light and ambience. Dimmable too which is a bonus. However, they tend to go faulty and don't seem to last the stated "up to 15,000 hours". The living room and bedroom ceiling spotlight bars get limited use because the corner floor standing uplighters are used instead, so would expect these bulbs to last way longer than they do. In contrast, a different brand of LED spotlight bulbs in the kitchen and hallway ceilings have lasted much longer and they get used all the time (can't even remember when they last had to be changed).
