Philips LED Classic Dimmable Light Spot [R7S] 14W - 120W Equivalent, White (3000K)

I'm always cautious about Philips stuff. The quality can vary so much that longevity is all too often a bit of a gamble. But this one is great. It's a direct replacement for my uplighter halogen bulb, has a lovely colour balance, brightness is perfect for reading etc without the OTT intensity of a Gestapo interrogation lamp. Wish I'd changed years ago. It's saving me a fortune compared to halogen

Fits my uplighter without a problem. Dims okay until it gets to a particular point, then it flickers. Continue through this point and the flickering stops. Doesn't buzz when dimmed though which is a positive. Went for the 14W / 120W light as it was brigher (20009 lm vs 1600 lm) than the 11W / 100W version and, inexplicably, nearly £3 cheaper. Bought as a replacement for a 150W halogen and it is nowhere near as bright - rather disappointed given that it supposedly the equivalent of a 120W light. In two minds as to wheher to return it or not. There are brighter, and cheaper, alternatives out there - but Philips is a reliable brand so I mey end up keeping it. According to my wattmeter, it is only drawing 11W on 'full', not the 14W it should be doing. Have I got an 11W version in a 14W package?? No, just checked to make sure - the end cap says 14W. Overall, slightly disappointing, but I'll probably end up keeping it.

I had to return this as I bought it for a floor lamp that projects light in all directions, and I hadn't noticed this bulb has a solid, unlit side that didn't suit that application. Otherwise it seemed really good. Nice range of brightness on the dimmer switch, with strong and unflickering light.

Works well but quite a chunky item

Not very dim at lowest level, plus the advert shows a degree of down light. In practice there is none.

We've been using this bulb for the past few months in our dimmable floor lamp. We've not noticed any flickering or other problems. The light quality is good, and it offers a good change of brightnesses. One thing we did notice initially was that the bulb seemed to cut out after a few minutes. However we think this might have been due to heat expansion shifting it slightly in its connection. Jiggling the bulb slightly stopped this, and in the months since, we've not had any problems.

It's a straight replacement for r7s, 118mm. Lights up the room well, but doesn't really dim; it has "bright" and "everso slightly less bright"

I bought the same type of bulb years ago, and that one recently failed. This new one seems much improved. It has a wider range of dimming and the hum at low levels of brightness is almost totally gone. Very pleased. Wish I had bought it sooner.

Ampoule de très bonne qualité. Je n'ai pas de variateur mais elle marche très bien en direct. A voir pour la durée.

Den här lampan är perfekt för den som har en äldre golvlampa med linjär halogenlampa som drar 230 W. Den nya lampan drar bara 14 W och ger fint varmvitt ljus som också kan dimmas. Klas

Blij dat mijn halogeenlamp (die heel veel verbruikte) eindelijk vervangen is! Ik kan mijn staande lamp weer dagelijks gebruiken.

Finally some proper light (after some testing of other lamps) Dimming working beautifully (in those old long standing lights), no noise, no interference.
