At the far tried out by me as halogen replacement LED bulbs bothered either too little warm light or poor color gamut. The assessed here Phillips-LED is the first lamps, which I, in terms of light quality, virtually no longer be distinguished from the previously mounted halogen lamps: warm and at the same time the previously usual gamut. Floors, walls, furniture and pictures appear as before the halogen light. The 4 watts of light intensity comparable to 20 watt halogen.
The installation / replacement turned out without any problems. In the lamps previously tested the radiators have fitted properly. That's what I already experienced differently, because the geometry of the LED spotlight differs in part on the halogen bulbs and then folds the change u. U. no.
At most, can interfere, depending on visibility, which is actually the color Philips lamps body, in this case white. Thus, the appearance of the lamp itself may change considerably. With all of my previously tested LEDStrahlern addition eliminates the usual sides and rear scattered light emitted largely or completely. This can also affect the illumination of the room.
About the power saving potential does not have to talk to. At the current prices of about 12-15, the acquisition will be amortized well, the promised life should be achieved.
After my experience to date with LEDs, it seems to me particularly important to pay attention next to the color temperature to the color rendering index. The latter should at least be 80 what Phillips promises for this LED and holds obviously. Manufactured by companies that do not report this, I will now fingers. The 2700 Kelvin light temperature are halogen lamps very close to what is required in homes in most cases well. For me, it has proven to be helpful to first obtain a single lamps to try out.
Only problem. Unfortunately, I find now the family about to turn off the breaker even rarer: 'The use nix ...'
