  • Why would you get the above when you can get this?

    http://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-5-5w-mr16-cool-white-led-…

    Looks better in white and not as bulky?

    Not sure if dimmable though, but uses less power.

      I'm new to LED bulbs, but the Bunnings one is only 5.5w, not 7. Doesn't that mean it gives out less light for areas where that's important?

      • -1

        Correct

      • +3

        No, the lumens is what determines the light output. More efficient globes give more lumens for the same amount of watts consumed.

        425 to 440 - almost the same brightness…but the black globe is ugly.

      It is not dimmable and 5W. I don't think you can compare with the colour temperature also. We have in cool white same offer price. I do not want to list them all, so just listed the fast moving one.

      Also it is not an old outdated stock, we recently got this stock

      hope I am clear

      It's probably not dimmable. You need a certain type for dimmable circuits.

      It's unfortunate they are this colour. I had my parents house done by one of those free replacement things and they used these globes for the dimmable circuits and the normal ones (Bunnings link) for the rest.

      Cool white is also a horrid colour light and makes your house look like a hospital.
      It does have some uses though in certain conditions.

      • so you want to spend more money ie use more watts for less lumens :(

      • +2

        I agree…I find cool white/day light far too harsh for a home - looks too glary and looks like an office or hospital. I would never get cool white in a house.

        • Yep agree too, I could never feel cosy in winter with cool white lighting.

      • Cool white is also a horrid colour light

        You must really hate going outdoors in the daytime then.

        • In the daytime. At night I will go for warm light so my body is producing melatonin in the evening.

        • This makes no sense, the sun could only be described as warm white. Cool White is far from sunlight, that's the whole point of warm white, to mimic sunlight instead of the artificial glaring white light from Cool White fluoros and LEDs. The symbol on the Philips box for warm white is even a picture of the sun at the warm white end of the scale!

        • @MrFrugalSmith:

          the sun could only be described as warm white

          You are completely wrong. There is no way to sugar-coat it. Daylight is around 5500K +

          please read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

          Warm white mimics the yellow of incandescent lamps.
          It also gives a feel of approaching sunset.

        • @manic: I stand corrected on measurement of light colour of the sun… but having said that, I am still with 'dbun1', 'placard', and 'XeKToReX', there is something stark, clinical, harsh and unpleasant for a relaxing evening at home about Cool White lights inside a house - unless they are being used in a workspace during the day or application where you need clearest vision possible, or maybe a kitchen or laundry, then for the home warm white is the way to go. And I don't get that same feeling about the sun, so there must be more to the story than just light colour.

        • @MrFrugalSmith:

          yes, I do agree that warm white is nice for ambient lighting in lounge and bedrooms.
          I also think a lot of people get it because that is what they are used to from incandescents.

          But consider that the above product is a spotlight, suited for illuminating workareas such as desks and kitchen benchtops.
          Spotlamps are a poor choice for ambient room lighting IMHO. Too harsh.

      • I disagree on the cool white. I really hate the yellow halogen.
        But definitely cool white in the kitchen. Warm might be ok for lounge & dinning (depend on how ugly your guests are, or in my case you have a mirror)

        I did my house with the cheap aliexpress chinese ones 3yrs ago & I found 9w to be the sweet spot for lighting. I found the dimmable ones just had 3 steps (+ off), which is fine for me, but some might want the analogue dimmable ones, which I'm not sure LED's can do?

        The nice thing about 9w LED vs 50w halogen (apart from the colour) is that I worked out if they were on for 2hrs/day they paid themselves off in under 9mths ($5/bulb & 25c/kwh)

        The downside of LED is the 60° angle which can create dark spots, so for the kitchen say see if you can get the 90° ones.

  • this is the older version of the new 5.5w i think

  • Cool white version seen at Bunnings nth Geelong yesterday for $10ea on clearance rack. About 10 remaining

    As a sparkey I can tell you that the dimmable feature of these is the reason you would look at buying, not the wattage lumens etc. It's not a fair comparision at all comparing to non dimmable types. Kind of like comparing a gun surfboard to a mini mal.

    • +1

      I got these because they were dimmable, but still ended up having problems anyway, most likely due to the absolutely atrocious transformers that were used when the house was built (model TISQ in this doc: http://www.bealpritchett.com.au/downloads/275276/Downlights+…)

      It takes about a second to start up, and flickers while doing so. And turning them down too low means not enough juice to drive them, and the whole lot blinks off.

      They also tend to trip up the safety switches sometimes too, but I think that's a broader problem with the wiring in my house 'coz it happens with other things too.

      As much as I would like, it'd cost too much to have an electrician come out and replace all the transformers, and I was really pinning my hopes on these exxy Philips bulbs, but they turned out to be disappointing anyway.

      • Yeah the transformer would also have to be dimmable

        • They are on an existing dimmable circuit using halogen bulbs, so they were "dimmable" - just not compatible with LEDs.

  • +1

    What sort of warranty do these comes with? And if they come with a per usage basis, would I be okay by purchasing these now to use in a year time?

    • It comes with 1 year manufacturer warranty, it is per lamp

      • Maybe I wasn't clear in my initial question, I meant is the warranty based on time after purchase or usage hours?

        • Yes, it is after purchase

        • how would the manufacturer / supplier know when you start using it or not?

  • It is $15 each @ masters, and even further 20%off last time from ebay. Yours is cheap? dont think so.

  • +1

    What is the return policy if the items doesn't work on my dimmable transformer?
