they were all: too weak, too expensive, too blue
(Daylight or even blue or the light color has not voted and was totally yellow), the "mini-fluorescent" on the other hand had always the problem: too much (did not fit into existing luminaires), long starting times up to full power, often quite quickly broken (most had after about 1000 hours already only a small fraction of the original performance - which is about the life of incandescent bulbs).
This Philips LED is now probably the first truly good solution:
1) the 9,5W brings in the application (light) even more light than a 60W light bulb, because the light is emitted almost exclusively forward.
The only tiny drawback: the glare is relatively strong because the light is distributed in a slightly smaller area (however, was also at 60W without light strongly). The light is a blue trace (probably the reason for the better perception of brightness with a similar luminous flux), but acceptable. The 6W is also in a bad light - rather more than the 40W incandescent lamps, the first would have with their extremely poor light output and hideous red light (low filament temperature) in my view, should no longer apply. By contrast, the 100W bulbs were really good lights!
2) the light color of Philips 9,5W is very pleasant, blends well with other Warmtonlampen (halogen or fluorescent), but a trace is blue.
3) the size is exactly the one bulb, it fits in all luminaires. What bothers me a bit, though, is that it can be quite warm there, depending on the ventilation - which is expected on the service life (15,000 hours are given) negative impact.
4) the price is right: from the 10 6W, from 15 to 9,5W.
So Philips has done its homework with flying colors! This is the 60W bulbs replacement, the have all been looking for (if the Angabenm for durability votes)!
Has doing the incandescent ban now really brought something? Was the development of this lamp so accelerated by us? I do not think so: it comes namely from China (made in China) and they had probably more interested in economical lamps than ours and sensible ideas to get this when we with our "Prussian" ban Think! We have probably caused the "hoarding" of tens of thousands bulbs that you can then probably discard unused confidently into the future.
