The lamp shape is similar to a conventional 40W reflector lamp. It follows that it does not protrude from the lampshade. Thus, the appearance of the whole lamp a not to be underestimated ästethischer aspect is retained.
The beam angle of the Philips LED lamp with 36 °, however, quite small, the light really works like a spotlight. Was evenly lit with the previous three 40W incandescent our hallway, so it is difficult to illuminate evenly with the Philips LED lamp the entire space: If you compare the radiator upward, ceiling light and the room is dark, to set the radiator down, the floor is illuminated and the space remains dark, to set the spotlight centered, the wall and the center of the room is illuminated, but the floor and the ceiling remain dark. For this you will then still dazzled when you stand in the direction of the radiator.
The strong spot effect of light it appears considerably more than a 40W bulb.
The ordered lamps go back therefore, the next attempt will take place with Müller light EE14 5W R50 lamps (üller Light LED Bulb-E14 Replaces / dp / B0080VYFXY), hopefully with more success.
