I haved tried many generic LED i found on Amazon but nothink close to this warm white output. I rely leave the output of this LEDs and the dimmable function work perfectly. I also plan in the near future to try out the 17w Philips EnduraLed with a output equivalent to 75watt.

This makes it a much higher quality LED bulb than anything on the market right now. Traditional 6 w LED bulbs only around 300 lumens. When they say it's equivalent to 60W they LIE. What they mean is that it is equivalent to 60w only in a certain direction...

Philips light bulbs are not that efficient if you take into account the following: 12W for a 60W incandescent light bulb. In the LED industry you can do the same with 6 X 1w Cree Chips = 6W +1W for the LED Driver. Also Philips light bulbs have a life expectancy of 25K Hours, compared to other light bulbs in the market, that offer 50K Hours. Price $39? Very expensive for a light bulb that need twice the power as conventional led light bulbs and only 25K hours. What would the ROI on this little guy be? Well, well well.

A standard LED light bulb is potentially recyclable.. A standard CFL has toxic mercury in it, enough to make it mandatory that it goes ONLY into a toxic waste dump.. Definitely do not break a CFL. Treat is like dangerous hazardous waste if you, when cleaning it up... No worries like this with LED lights.

There is also circuitry to make the bulb dimmable on standard dimmers and convert power from the AC line. That uses some power too so you can\'t compare lumens/Watt to someone else\'s naked white LEDs. Also I would trust Philips\' ratings more than others.

Given that LEDs don't require a "decreased light output warm up period" nor hazardous material handling upon breakage or disposal, this puts them well ahead of CFLs. And they should last much longer than a CFL, and give me fewer eyestrain headaches as well! 12 watts for a 60 watt bulb puts it equivalent with CFLs, hopefully the light output is equally matched.

I would have expected a lot better from Philips, a company that\'s been a leader in the world of lighting.
