Philips LED B22 Frosted Light Bulbs, 5.5 W (40 W) - Warm White, Pack of 6

Excellent bulbs, can’t say how strange it is to write this but it feels retro to have the old bulb shape (and glass), it’s great and a welcome addition! They appear to be quality bulbs and after using them they provide a very good light and overall I’m very impressed and pleased with them! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these bulbs! If you are looking for new bulbs to replace old energy saving bulbs don’t think twice to buy these! Love these bulbs!

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy these Philips lamps again. I purchased this pack October 2022, and they’ve worked perfectly since then. With a pack like this, you’ll have more than enough supply to last a long time—I haven’t had to buy any additional lamps, and I still have some left unused. The brightness is great for small areas and maybe over bright in stairway or small store room , but it’s not as perfect for larger rooms. The light is warm and feels comfortable. That’s understandable, as lighting a larger space would require more power or higher wattage. Overall, these lamps are an excellent value for money and ideal around house. Highly recommended!

Gives a good light from a table lamp. The light is slightly warmer than the bright white I use appropriately elsewhere. In the position the lamp is, the LED bulb gives a slight but audible hum in the absence of any covering other sound, e.g. TV. If you like silence and are sensitive to noise, I would suggest that you think of another bulb type. I cannot comment on longevity as I have only one day's experience of use of the bulb.

Got these Dec 2021 for the bargain price of £12. They are very bright yet still warm like a incandesant bulb, and at 5.5 watts are supposed to be equivilant of 40 watts but feel more like 60 watts to me. The colour temp is perfect too, 2700 Kelvin with a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 80. So not really suitable for say the kitchen. There are many reviews complaining about longevity. The reason for this is because the LEDs are being overdriven. So the 15,000 hour life span should be taken with a pinch of salt. bigclivedotcom on youtube explains this in his "Inside a new Philips ultra-efficient LED lamp (with schematic)" video and his "The lamps you're not allowed to have. Exploring the Dubai lamps" video. The dubai lamps are now being sold as the Philips ultra-efficient LED here in the UK which as bigclivedotcom explains and tearsdown, how these new ones have over twice the number of strips of LED's than these have and are underdriven, rather than overdriven like these. But...while the new ones use less electricity by a few watts and might last as long as the promised 50,000 hours due to them being underdriven they cost a staggering £10 each, whereas these are £2 each if you wait till they are on amazon discount price, i.e. £12 for 6. So what you'd save in electric and longevity you'd be paying five times more for one bulb compared to the cost of these. For the mean time until the new ones come down to £5 or less in a few years time, these are the best option. They are not bright enough for a kitchen or for some for a living room but perfect for hallways, cupboards, bedrooms etc. Saying that one bulb is bright enough for my living room as I don't like it super bright. 60 watts equivilant is fine for me even though they supposed to be rated as 40 equivilant they really do feel like 60 watts +.

Top brand at a good price.

Fitted my standard hanging light fitting perfectly and worked straight away, cheaper to run than your standard, filament bulb and easily as bright, if not brighter than the ones I was using before. Note though that these are frosted and they won't cast a particularly contrasting shadow if you have a posh lamp shade that causes a pattern on the walls.

Great products and all work, for now. Product arrived different to pictured as 6 separate bulbs rather than a multipack of 6. Disappointed with the packaging Considering the product is relatively fragile, it was wrapped in bubble wrap and packaged in a postage bag, rather than robust cardboard. As a result, one of the boxes was crumpled, but thankfully, the bulb was fine.

These are economical, bright and a reliable brand so should last. But there's one flaw, I've used 2 and they both emit an audible buzzing. Not enough of a concern for me to bother returning as using them for landing and kitchen but definitely worth knowing if you intend to use in living/dining room.
