Should You Buy Philips’ LED Bulb? Video + Review


In the end, it didn’t seem to work as well as the $20 40-watt equivalent EcoSmart from Lighting Sciences. It was about the same as the Pharox bulb from Lemnis Lighting that came out a year ago. (We didn’t have a foot-candle meter or sophisticated test equipment. Our tests are real-world: people flip on the lights and stare.) Both Lemnis, founded by the great-grandson of the founder of Philips Lighting, and Lighting Sciences have stronger, newer bulbs coming soon.

Lighting Sciences beat out Lemnis in our last test. That makes it the reigning champ for now. But bulbs are coming from General Electric and Osram. All manufacturers are encouraged to show us what they have.

And when you piled on the higher price and the crazy exterior that somehow no one could ignore, it was hard to maintain the excitement. Check out the video. The results were unanticipated.
