Philips' newest light bulb offers an LED sunset

2015-02-24
hey I'm seeing that's right Crist and I'm here at the Philips warm glow LED this is a new bulb from Philips it's coming to Home Depot in March and it offers a unique spin on dimming what happens is as you dial the light down the color temperature goes down to so as I go down to this nice low level it's actually going from 2700 K down to about 1900 K so a very reddish orange hue now it's a slight difference from what you'll see if you're looking at something like the Philips Slim style LED or the existing Philips 60 watt equivalent bulbs for my initial impressions that's a pretty slight difference compared to other LEDs that dim but still kind of interesting now moving right on to the basic bulb specs the 60 watt replacement of the warm glow that you see here it is very nice putting out about eight hundred and thirty lumens from a power draw of 9.5 watts there's also a 40 watt replacement version that sells for a dollar less and uses a power draw of six and a half watts the other interesting thing about this light is that it's upping the warrantee previous philips bulbs have had five year warranties three year warranties but this one has a 10 year warranty and that's the same as Cree that's a very good warranty obviously for ten bucks and we'll have our full review up in a couple of weeks after we've had some time to play with the bulb to let you know how they stack up thanks for watching for seanut appliances I'm Rui Christy you can check out more of our smart home and LED coverage at cnet.com you
