Lumens (light output)
This refers to the literal measure of the light-output of a particular light bulb, measured in the number of lumens.
Watts (Energy Used)
"Watts" is the term applied to the amount of energy required and used by a particular light bulb. It is an international system unit of power equal to one joule per second. Contrary to popular belief, the wattage of a bulb does not directly measure the brightness; the "lumens" of a light is what defines the actual light output.
Average Lifetime
This refers to an average lifetime rating based on large quantities in test groups. This testing takes into account usage of 3 hours per start for fluorescent lamps and 10 hours per start for HID lamps.
Volts
Voltage is a measure of electrical potential.
Bulb Type
|
|
The "Bulb Type" is typically a combination of the style of bulb as well as the width of the bulb. Usually, the first couple letters will indicate the type; "G" would indicate "Globe", "PAR" would indicate "Parabolic Reflector"... The numbers indicate the diameter of the light bulb in eighths of an inch; a "G40" would be a "Globe" style that is "5 inches" in diameter.
|
Base Type
|
|
The "Base" of a light bulb is the part that either screws or snaps into a receptacle. Base Type terminology may indicate common descriptive words like "Medium" or "Candelabra", or may even contain numeric codes that signify size and variety, like "E26" or "2GX13".
|
Filament Type
|
The filament is the style of fine wire that is heated electrically inside of an incandescent light bulb.
|
Color Temperature
Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) is a specification of the color appearance of a light bulb, relating its color to that of a reference source heated to a particular temperature, measured in degrees Kelvin (K). It generally measures the "warmth" or "coolness" of light source appearance.
CRI (Color Rendering Index)
CRI refers to the "Color Rendering Index" of a light bulb. CRI measures a light source and grades its ability to render the color of objects "correctly," as compared with a reference source with comparable color temperature. 100 is perfect rendering.
Length
This is sometimes referred to as MOL, or "Maximum Overall Length". It measures the absolute length of a light bulb, from the top of the bulb to the bottom of the base and is typically expressed in inches.
Width
Width refers to the complete diameter of the widest point of the light bulb.
Beam Angle
The beam angle refers to the width of the light beam coming from a reflector light bulb. The higher the number, the wider the beam spread.
# of Lamps
This refers to the number of Fluorescent or HID light bulbs that this particular ballast can light.
Bulb Type Used in Ballast
This refers to the style of light bulb that this particular ballast can light.

Five stars, and I'm not an easy customer as a retired engineer. I've bought quite a few screw-in LED bulb brands and models over the past several years and have had many disappointments. I'm so impressed by this bulb that I'd rate this as an equal to the excellent Crane screw-in LED bulbs, yet this costs less. Further, this bulb puts out an excellent warm yellow light (call it homey if you want), so no one even realizes it's not an incandescent bulb. One more surprising aspect of this bulb is that it tends to throw light in many directions (like an incandescent). Many LED bulbs do not illuminate in all directions well, so I’m pleased that this Philips does as I like having our stained-glass lighting fixtures properly lit. The only issue with this bulb is appearance (OK, I’ll say it: it’s ugly!) so if you can live with that issue, or if the bulb doesn't show in a lamp or fixture, then this is the screw-in LED bulb to buy. I have NOT tried it with a dimmer, so I'm unable to comment on that aspect, but I would assume that Philips has done an excellent job on designing this bulb for dimmer applications. I will place an order a few more of these after I complete this review. Way to go Philips, this one's actually an excellent replacement for both incandescent and spiral fluorescent bulbs!
