Hey YouTubers I wanted to do a quick video just picked up a couple of these bulbs here. These are the
Philips L-Prize award winning bulbs. So they're ten watt bulbs, they're the equivilent
to a sixty watt bulb
but they give they give off 940 lumens which is actually a little more than with a sixty
watt bulb gives off. These are $14.97 at our local Homedepot
after being bought down by our local electric company, SMUD.
So I thought I would do a quick video.
So they are LEDs, supposed to last practically forever, you'll have to leave them in your will. So twenty
two point eight years
nice thing is that they are dimmable. They are a soft white.
It's kinda funny 'cause they're actually yellow here but when you turn them on
they become pure white. Actually on the back they talk about that.
So this is when they're off; this is when they are on.
And after turning them on that really is true.
So there's a lot of benefits to it. So for one thing, you get a lot more lumens than a
regular sixty watt light bulb gives off.
It only uses ten watts, but plugging into the kilo-o-watt meter it actually uses a little more than
eight kinda almost nine.
But the nice thing about it gives off almost the same exact light as a regular
incandescent bulb.I t looks almost exactly the same.
It's not like the
cfls where they give kind of a yellowish light or the previous LEDs which kinda give off
more of a bluish tone.
There's a couple of gotcha. There is
it's not a suitable for everywhere. I'll see if I can focus better.
So you can't use them
and enclosures or in tight-fitting spaces. Basically they'll cook themselves.
uh... there's a whole list here on the back that their not usable for.
Pretty much just regular open lights where or they can kinda
dispense the heat
so they have a little paragraph here on the
L-prize. What it means and how they won it and all that blah blah blah stuff.
So down here they have where they talk about how it energy it saves, how much
power it uses, how long it lasts
and they have the warranty on it
so the bulb itself of this kind of nice
I have an open one here
and definite looks different than a regular lightbulb. Same connection though.
But it definitely looks different, it's also a lot heavier
so
the yellow doesn't light up yellow when it is turned on its more of a white compared to
what I had before
got this from SMUD at the State Fair. They were just giving these away.
This is the sixteen watt... or sixty watt bulb using fourteen watts of power.
But it looks more like a regular light bulb just with a CFL inside.
Powerwise
this uses a lot less and gives off a lot more light. This uses fourteen watts but
looks more like a regular lightbulb. It's also a lot lighter.
But it doesn't give off as much light. 800 lumens versus 940
lumens
and the coloring is a little bit different this is more of a kinda yellow where this is
really white
or really really close to it
But not like the LED white, more like an incandescent light
Here actually we will do a little example we'll show you. I'll light them both up side by side.
This one's new in the packaging and this one's new in the packaging-never been used
So let's go ahead and
do that right now.
Alright so here's our non so scientific test
on the left hand side we have a sixty watt CFL that's never been
used
and on the right hand side we have the L-Prize Phillips LED sixty watt bulb
also that has never been used and they're both hooked up to a surge
protector. I'm going to flip the switch and they'll both turn on at the same exact time
so we'll see what happens
as you see the L-Prize is already at full brightness
the CFL is
really dim
But it takes about a minute for it to get the full brightness
And there's the test. And you can see against the wall that it has pretty good spread
coverage
It has those three lil sections that it shoots light out of, you can't actually see
that on there
And the cfl bulb is now brightening up
It's also not quite a fair comparison because the CFL bulb
is only rated for
800 lumens
where as the Phillips LED
L-Prize is rated for 940 lumens
but also the LED one
uses a lot less energy ten watts... well not A LOT less
but 10 watts vs. fourteen watts for the sixty watt bulb.
Alright so the Philips LED actually did pretty well compared to the CFL. Turned on
instantly, full brightness businessmen to the government said skip full brightness
now but as far as this one is with u brighter forty one percent amendments
that was
those expected
uh... the of nice thing is desired immobile
this was not as that will be giving campbell soup bowls after listening to
that worked very well
had to get your
demme's the l_e_d_ approved ones for the the phillips one where is your bills
mammy network the older style
uh...
you're listening is the ladies dot has in the mercury
words as the appeals to you
as both an amount of mercury that since two thousand some minute that gives you
more mercury from eating tuna
the studio
nowhere verifying that
this happens mercury equipment back
realizing this is assembled in america
if i was a made in america disassembled
word elsewhere
so beth review there
simple courtesy of bell
deftly heavier feels well constructed taken in part to bear further
so thanks for watching
