Great Light Bulb -- Some Problems
I love these LED light bulbs. I've got 9 installed throughout the house in high use areas. The light is pleasant and bright. The bulb is dimmable. In high-use areas the bulbs pay for themselves in energy savings in three years, and the savings increase when you consider the price of replacing burned out incandescent bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs.That said, there are still a few problems I've encountered with these bulbs that I thought I'd share.* Slight delay on turn-onThere is a slight delay between the time you flip the switch and the light turns on; maybe about 1/3 of a second, if the bulbs have been off for some time. It comes on at full brightness, so this is a great improvement over compact fluorescents, but the delay takes a little getting used to.A minor observation is that if you have fixtures with, say, three of these bulbs in it, the bulbs tend to come on at slightly different times. So when you flip on the switch...

Closest to perfect 60W replacement bulb
I tried a lot of LED bulbs and I like Philips products, including this one, the best. I hate harsh blueish color of most CFLs and LEDs, but this one gives a very pleasant light, about as warm as from an incandescent. Dimming is not very important to me - but I happen to have it on a dimmer, and it works great. I also like the futuristic look of the bulb. Price stinks, but as volume increases, they should become cheaper. Please note that LEDs should not be used in fully enclosed fixtures. Even though they are much cooler than incandescents, they may and will overheat when fully enclosed. It is because their tolerance to heat is also much lower (incandescent won't mind if you put it in the oven, but not LED).

Pricey nondirectional bulb replacement
First things first. Yes this bulb is yellow when off, it is also plenty white when casting light. The package even has a big label to let you know it doesn't throw yellow light.This bulb aims at addressing three of the four knocks on LEDs. One is that they are only good for spotlights, as traditionally the light from LEDs only go one direction. The second is that LEDs aren't good with dimmers. The third is that LEDs have retina searing glare because the light comes from pinhead sized elements instead of the larger, more diffuse, areas of competing technologies. And the fourth is that LEDs are expensive. Well 3 out of 4 isn't bad. The light comes out in a decent angle that would allow you to replace the bulb in most any table or floor lamp, and definitely any ceiling fixture. The light is a pleasant warmish sort, not the stark white we normally associate with bare LEDs, but more like the setting sun. This might be too warm for some applications where a harsher contrast is...
