PHILIPS LED 65W BR40 4-Pack Ultra Definition Soft White (2700K) 800 Lumen (10W = 65W) Dimmable Frosted Flicker-Free Light Bulbs

I needed a new bulbs to replace some 10 year old LED bulbs that started to develop flickers or turning off from overheating. These bulbs are great, they are a color match for the other 2700K bulbs I have and dim very well on my Lutron Caseta dimmers. As long as I get the 10 years I got out of the Sylvania bulbs they will have been worth it.

Nice & bright where i need

This review is for BR40, 65W-equivalent, 800 Lumen, 2700K version: I am beyond enthusiastic about these LED light bulbs. They are a dream come true. I like them so much and felt such inspired by them that I could hardly wait to share my positive review. These LED light bulbs absolutely look and feel like incandescent lights! I tried running them alongside with similarly frosted incandescent lights and it is hard to tell the difference; hard to tell, which one I prefer more. They are THAT much alike. Needels to say, the color temperature is a perfect match. Unlike some other LED bulbs that are currently on the market, these start not only WITHOUT a flash, these start with a speedy, yet incremental increase of output. On the other hand, when turning them off, they turn off with a speedy dim. Have I mentioned how beautiful and warming the output is? I will definitely keep ordering more of these. Recommended to friends only.

I'll always prefer the "warmth" of incandescent bulbs but that's not an option anymore. I've tried numerous soft white LED bulbs hoping to get that incandescent glow. Philips Ultra Definition is the bulb that hits the mark for me. Whether the bulb is for recessed in the kitchen or a lamp in a bedroom, this is the warmest light bulb I have found. The only brand of bulb I would happily purchase again.

Within the first year five out of six of these failed completely - got progressively dimmer than stopped working. The sixth was only recently installed as a replacement, I'm sure that will fail as well. These were not used on a dimmer, just a normal switch. My house if full of LED bulbs - none of the other ones did this. Normally Philips makes good bulbs, but these are garbage. Now I need to figure out how to warranty from Philips - PITA. Avoid these.

I replaced about about 10 canned lights in my kitchen with these. They are on dimmers and can vary from quite bright to quite dim. They don't protrude from the canned fixtures, but they extend further than the previous PAR 30s did. That helps provide more light in the kitchen, but at their brightest setting they produce more glare at an angle.

I only buy Philips Ultra-Definition after a comparison test showed they're the best combination of: no flicker, colour accuracy, and energy efficiency. they've lived up to my expectations for the past 2 years.

The bulbs are an easy to screw in direct replacement for incandescent BR40. I was apprehensive to buy them at first, because every dimmable bulb on Amazon claims to work without issues and then you read reviews about flickering. I’m adding this review so others with electronic dimmers like mine can understand that the lights will actually work. See the pic of my dimmer. Note that the lowest setting is a little brighter than incandescent but still low light and cozy enough.
