am seen that's right Crist and this is the Phillips 100 watt equivalent LED this is a 19 watt LED that gives off a stated sixteen hundred and eighty lumens I say stated because Energy Star ranked that light output at sixteen hundred and twenty lumens and in our own testing lab we found it to be down on that end of the scale as well so that's still very good anything 1600 lumens are up is very good for 100 watt equivalent but still maybe not quite as bright as Philips is Thomas but here take a look for yourself on the left he's got the cream 100 watt replacement and then the middle of the GE 100 watt replacement both of those are 1600 lumens now if I turn this bulb on on the right that's Philips that's the 1680 lumen bulb that they're talking about doesn't look dramatically brighter than these two and you should be able to notice a slight difference you should be able to say that's the brighter of the three bulbs if we're talking about the eye test I don't think Philips quite gets there you'll find the philips LED on sale at Home Depot for $22 that's one dollar more than the GE LED and two dollars more than you'll pay for the cree LED given that i just don't see how i can recommend it even though it is a pretty good LED thanks for watching be sure to check out my full review at cnet.com along with the rest of my led reviews for CNET appliances I'm Rui Crist
