This review is for a pack of two Philips LED GU10 5W two pin dimmable spotlight bulbs. These are energy efficient bulbs offering savings of up to 80%.A common problem that I have with some of these energy efficient bulbs is that they are quite dim when first switched on and you have to wait a while for the light to reach its brightest.These Philips bulbs are two pin spotlight bulbs which produces an instant (no need to wait) warm white light when switched on. They are a 50w equivalent and should last for approximately 15,000 hours.There is quite a variety of colours that can be emitted from bulbs these days, even whites need careful thought with choices of warm white, cool white, bright white,ultra-white and probably more.We have two groups of two spotlight fitments in our office which take these type of two pin LED bulbs.We already have a bright white in the desk lamp for paperwork, also with the very bright computer screen, I didn't want such a harsh light in the other areas of our office. So being unsure as to which type of white light would perform better, I have been trying out a few different bulbs.After some trial and error I settled on warm whites especially in the set by my African Violets plants.When I received this set of LED GU10 5W bulbs, I replaced two of my present locally bought warm whites with these bulbs and I could instantly see a difference.The Philips warm white was so much brighter and warmer (much like the incandescent bulbs of old) than my current bulbs, whether this is because the Philips bulbs are new and the others have been in place for a few weeks I can't truthfully say, but I will be purchasing some more of these Philips bulbs and see how I get on.These bulbs are dimmable and the light given from the bulb is a good strong warm white light fading to an even warmer (less bright) light if you dim the light, the bulb also feels cool to the touch which is another plus point.These Philips bulbs aren't too pricey either … a pack of six being the cheapest option.

I've tried many LED equivalent GU10 bulbs in the past and I have to say that the Philips branded bulbs are the best on the market.For a start, Philips have mastered the size perfectly and they fit perfectly into the existing lamp holders as they are same size as normal halogen GU10 bulbs (they are stated as being 3mm longer, but this makes virtually no difference whatsoever). Having said that, many manufacturers have mastered the size, so this alone isn't a reason to buy Philips over other brands.Secondly, each bulb will save 45 watts (per hour) of power when compared to a standard 50W halogen equivalent, and it appears that the generally accepted yearly usage of a light bulb is around 1,000 hours.Therefore, the total saving over the course of a year is 45,000 watts or 45kW/h (i.e. units of power). My electricity costs around 16p a unit, therefore the total annual saving is approximately £7. Based on the current retail price of £5 per bulb, the bulbs would have paid for themselves in less than a year, but should still have a lifespan at that stage of another 14 years!Obviously this depends upon the bulbs being reliable however, I first starting replacing my halogen bulbs with Philips GU10 LEDs bulbs in July 2013 and I have not had a single failure. Accordingly, these Philips bulbs seem to have mastered the reliability problem which plagues many LED bulbs.These bulbs are also fully dimmable (provided you have a compatible dimmer switch), have a beam angle of 36 degrees (which is similar to many standard halogen GU10 bulbs) but the key difference with many competitors is the colour temperature. Whilst these bulbs have a colour temperature of 2700K (which is warm white), they are described as warm glow. This means that as you dim the bulb, it actually gets even warmer (down to as low as 2200K), which is quite a yellowy orange colour (which is very relaxing).Overall, these are fantastic LED bulbs and I wouldn't buy anything else from now on.

A few things to consider when buying lights:Colour temperature - measured in degrees kelvin. These bulbs are 2700k (warm white)Wattage - 5.5w (almost a tenth of the halogen equivalent). These bulbs are more powerful than their 50w halogen counterpartColour rendition index (CRI) - how good the bulb is at reflecting colours naturally; if the bulb lights a painting, for example, youd want the colours in the painting to be as true to life as possible. An inferior bulb (with a low CRI) would make paintings / photos / colours on the wall appear not how they were intended. The CRI is a number out of 100. This bulb has a CRI rating of 80. Its this number (that although for this price is relatively industry standard)slightly lets it down.Economic viabilityI bought the 6-pack making each bulb £3.66The halogen equivalent would be £0.65The LED lasts 15,000hrs and the halogen 2,000hrs. Youd need to buy 8 halogens to meet the same lifespan, at a cost of £5.20. so these bulbs pay for themselves outrightIf you pay 10p per kilowatt hour for your electricity then a 50w halogen bulb would cost 0.5p per hour and the 5w LED 0.05p per hour, or £75 or £7.50 for 15,000 hrs respectivelyYoud save £1.54 on the bulbs but £67.50 on electricityThe photo attached to this review shows the Philips LED bulb and a halogen 50w bulb side by side. The Philips bulb is noticeably brighter.The photo was taken on a canon 5d MK3 with automatic white balance....the fairest test i could do.ConclusionCheap to buy and cheaper to run than halogenBrighter than halogen counterpartCRI not great but more than ok for the priceDoesn't dim all the way downWould I buy it again? No, Id buy the Philips master expert colour / color. Its got a better CRI, it dims all the way down to 5%, a better colour temperature and still makes financial sensethat said, for the money these are the best on the market

Finally got around to replacing the six halogen bulbs in my kitchen ceiling light fitting with LEDs. However, anyone who has ever teetered on a chair or stepladder trying to fit or extract a GU10 bulb with the aid of a little plastic suction cap will know that it's a pain in the **** at the best of times. So it didn't fill me with joy when these arrived and I find that, unlike halogen bulbs, the surface of these is not completely flat but for some reason dips in the middle. This meant that my suction cap couldn't form a strong airtight seal and kept slipping when any pressure was applied to turn the bulb. Sadly after a couple of attempts it slipped off the bulb completely and my brand new (and not cheap)LED bulb fell on to the kitchen table and smashed.I tried and tried again but couldn't even get one bulb secured in the fitting. Luckily I them turned to the good old web for advice and found someone recommended using a lump of Blu Tack instead of the suction cap. I softened up a good sized lump with my fingers, pressed it on the surface of the bulb until it was stuck then offered it up to the fitting and turned it and hey presto, worked like a charm. Peeled the Blu Tack off then repeated the method for the other bulbs and had all five fitted in a couple of minutes. Will never bother with a suction cap again to be honest!The light they give out is fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing the savings on my bill. Now I have to fork out money for a sixth bulb to replace the one broken.

I've had dimmable LED bulbs before and have always ended up with that sort of PWM flicker when they're dimmed. I'm really sensitive to it so when I've had other bulbs I never dimmed them as they'd give me a headache. These are the first ones I've used that have ZERO perceptible flicker.They seem to be a bit warmer than other 2700k bulbs I've used, but it's a nice light similar to halogen, and when you dim them the fact that they go down to a warmer 2200k is a really nice feature. Much cosier feeling than other LED bulbs I've used.Brightness is consistent across all bulbs aswell, and they're very bright despite only being rated around 350 lumens.I've got 10 downlights in a 20 sq.m room and I've got them set to around 70% most of the time.Couple downsides - the LED's seem to be all in the centre of the bulb - so you get a brighter centre and then the edge of the bulbs are basically unlit. I'd prefer a more even spread of light when looking at the bulbs (how often do you really look at your ceiling though). The beam angle of 36 degrees also seems a bit shallower than my previous bulbs, even though they were also rated the same. Not a massive difference, but it's there. CRI isn't perfect, and seem to make red stuff pop out a lot. Wouldn't recommend these if you're lighting up some artwork.For a lounge, bedroom, or bathroom though these are great. Nearly identical results to halogen bulbs but at 10% the energy cost.

This is an exceptional product. I have spent a long time looking for a led bulb that won't have an initial flicker for split second when you switch on or give out poor area coverage..So to start off with we had 16 halogen gu10s in our kitchen and they all were 50w.... as you can imagine the running cost was not practical and we have tried various brands of led's.. we brought the LAP brand ones from screwfix various others from different supermarkets (single bulbs) to try and i must say that they all were a good but there was something about it that i cant put my finger on but i didnt feel i would be happy to replace all the bulbs with them...So we held on until we come across this and read all reviews...we finally decided to give these a try...my god am i glad i did, it has transformed our kitchen..The brightness and colour tone are extremely impressive for a 4.6watt bulb. They don't buzz or appear to give off any interference. I don't know how hot they get - but at such low wattages, I doubt it's very much.In future I will always buy Philips when it comes to LED bulbs. The quality is second-to-none.It may seem rather expensive at the momemt but like they say you get what you pay for and this is definately worth every penny.We were so impressed that we have ordered more for our hallway and dining room.

These Philips WarmGlow GU10s are excellent light bulbs. I’ve spent many years buying different LED bulbs with a huge variation in success. I’m fussy about the light quality that these bulbs produce, and have an aversion to poor quality lighting (colour temperature and CRI). I’ve used various Philips GU10 LEDs in multiple properties for a number of years, and apart from an early generation of 4W MasterLEDs (which all failed within 2 years), the reliability of the later generation bulbs has been excellent (as high as 98% ok after 2 years). I tried these WarmGlow variants in our hallway – a run of 10 bulbs on a dimmer, and am impressed to say the least. On maximum, they are bright,but not harsh (a true warm white, with no hint of the cold/ghost lighting that some earlier LEDs produced), and I’d say they are perfect for an inviting, homely feeling. When dimmed, then it gets really good – as the bulb is dimmed, the colour temperature decreases, giving a much warmer, softer glow – perfect for evenings. We generally leave the bulbs at around 80%, even in the daytime. I’m really pleased with these (you can probably tell), and at £19.99 for 6, will certainly be using more in the future. I don’t work for Philips, and paid for my bulbs in full.

So my room was getting too hot, I discovered I was using 6 x 50watt halogen bulbs (300 watt total!) that operated around 160-180 degrees Celsius. For a long time i'd put the temperature down to my gaming PC, monitors and the length of time I was in the room. Switching to these 4 watt bulbs (24 watt total) has really cut the electricity down and since then I've replaced the entire house where I can with them. They were 50 lumens brighter but significantly more expensive.It's hard to judge their logevity since there's lots of factors as to why a bulb may blow and in many cases it's due to the houses power output, faulty wiring, the light fitting and many more things.So far 1 has blown out of a total of 30 bought but I would say that's a decent outcome. The one that stopped working stopped the moment I turned on the lights after swapping the bulb, it tripped the fuse. Replacing it with a different one worked but I have no way of gauging whether or not it's the bulb at fault.Overall these are more expensive but operate much cooler than halogen and are far more Eco-friendly and reduce your overall electricity output.

I have been using GU10 LED bulbs in my kitchen for about 4 years and needed to replace them as I dropped and smashed one! They were the standard metal covered 'warm white" that can be bought cheaply. This brand are no longer available on amazon so had to replace all 4 bulbs.Saw these and thought I would give them a go as I have other Phillips bulbs around the house and they have been brilliant. It was a good choice.These have a really nice proper warm white colour and are very bright, also the surround of the bulb is not metal like a lot of others, but see-through plastic, this looks a lot better in the fitting and actually distributes the light much better.The colour of the warm white and the light distribution is a big improvement on the ones I had before, quite glad I dropped one now lol.As I said I have other Phillips bulbs and they have all lasted years and been great quality, I expect these to do the same. Proper warm white with a nice glow not a cold white. Really pleased with them. :)

I purchased another two boxes of 6 of these excellent GU10 LED lamps. EXCELLENT amount and quality of light. For a bulb that uses under 5 Watts of power the light output is extraordinary. The cool WHITE is not a cold bluish tint you get with some LED lamps. 4000 Kelvin is a very pleasing white - not too yellowish and not to cold and bluish either. With a very even 30 degree angle spread of of beam from the very clever little lens system - the effect of the lamps is very even spread of light. For some people the light colour of the "cool white" might be just a wee bit to cool for living rooms and bedrooms. Philips GU10 WARM WHITE HOWEVER, this is way too warm YELLOW for my liking- plus light output is much lower than the Cool-white version.The latest offer on a 6x pack puts the price per bulb at well under £2 making them the best value for money I have encountered for this type of bulb. I have had a bunch of these LED bulbs working now for several months with ABSOLUTELY NO FAILURES thus far.

These LED's are surprisingly good. At 2700K you'd think they might be too warm, and with an output of 350 lumens not very bright.... but they put out light of a quality which is better, I think, than the 50w Osram halogen lamps they are replacing.The colour is good, a proper warm white. The brightness is great, and the spread of light (36 degrees for these ones) is better than the old halogens which gave a sharp-edged pool of light, not great as the light died away too quickly. These Philips LED's are brighter and cleaner than the old halogens, and use only 5.5w!They're not the cheapest LED's but compared with some of the Lohas ones (I've done straight comparisons with 4000K and 3000K ones),these Philips LED's have a clear edge - you can really see to read, or they're great on pictures etc, too.I can confirm they are properly dimmable, too. You'll need a Varilight V-Pro dimmer switch. They only dim down to about 1/3 brighness. But no flicker or any other problems.

As with other buyers, what I received was not what was advertised. This is not a six-pack of bulbs, but rather six individual bulbs. They do work, they dim perfectly for me, and I would actually call them warm white (as opposed to the claim they are bright white in another review) but I also agree with the review that they are not 50w equivalent. They do not reach the desired brightness, in my opinion. As for the claim in another review that they are not genuine Philips products, I can't be sure, but I can say the bulbs I received look different to the ones pictures in another review here. As for the claim that they "look of Middle Eastern Oorigin", mine clearly state they were made in China.Overall,I'd say that they will do the trick for you if you're not concerned with incredibly bright lighting, the fact they may not be genuine products and you are happy to pay the price.

High quality GU10s, nice and bright (check the lumens is enough for you). Beam angle is 36 degrees which is a fraction narrow but ok for most applications. Wider beam angle means they are more likely to blind you when you look up. A narrow angle means more light actually travels down to illuminate everything underneath. In fact I felt they were a fraction too bright, so I went with the 3.5W warm white version, however, these were perfect brightness for the kitchen in all but one corner where I could have done with 60 degrees. Warm white 2700K 5W are bright af and are are perfect for the hallway, but a fraction too yellow for the kitchen. Philips do a 3000K 3.5W and 5W GU10 but you can't buy them on Amazon or many other retailers (some do)which is maybe the best bet for a kitchen unless you like it slightly warm. Whoever said these aren't bright enough must be blind.

I bought these lamps to replace what were your typical incandescent bulbs for a fixture recently purchased. My house as a whole is filled with LED bulbs (all Philps, some smart, others less so) and it was actually a fair surprise when I could feel the actual heat coming off the bulbs supplied with the fixture. It's been a while and it makes you realise quite how wasteful older bulbs can be!As a result I went ahead and purchased these. They clicked in as you'd expect of the usual spotlight style bulbs and I was actually fairly surprised at quite how soft and diffused the bulbs actually were. It almost made the room feel like a showroom to a degree (which depending on your tastes,is great or terrible).At 4.6w a bulb it's a no-brainer energy consumption-wise and as I've been fortunate over the past few years to not yet have a single LED bulb go on me yet!

The people who have given this a bad review have simply demonstrated their poor grasp of lighting. Philips haven't made a claim about the lifetime of the product (15,000 hours is NOT written on the box, and would be meaningless anyway without saying what they are testing them to - they are a good manufacturer, they'll last OK unless you have bad wiring). You can basically buy a known brand (GE, Sylvania, Osram, Philips and probably supermarket own brand) and get something reliable, or you can buy a cheap import and roll the dice on quality. I liked these, the colour temperature was as stated, and they had good colour rendering - the light felt comfortable. They also weren't hideously bright to stare at,and the surface had a nice sparkle to it like the old ones. Do note that this type of lamp does have a beam angle, so check it if it's important to you.
