Color Temperature
Color temperature is a measure of the light bulb’s color when illuminated, and is measured in degrees Kelvin. The higher the number, the whiter, and then bluer, or cooler. The lower the number, the more yellow, or warmer the color. The whiteness of the light itself creates a mood in the lighted space.
Color is a personal preference. Select a bulb that creates the environment you desire for the application.

Going Green without looking it. The Philips 423798 13-Watt BR30 Indoor Flood LED Light Bulb, Dimmable replacement floods are what LED replacement floods should look like. Unlike many other competitors Philips has developed a near perfect replacement for incandescent flood bulbs. In most light fixtures you would hardly notice that there was an LED in place of a traditional bulb, and the fit and finish of the product makes this bulb gives it a contemporary design appeal that isn’t in any other LED bulb on the market.PERFORMANCE ***** : Compared to a traditional incandescent bulb it’s replacing you’ll gain greater luminous flux or lumens (brightness) 730 vs 580 (Damar 65W Flood in my case) at a 5th of the power consumption. I have found this suits my situation well because the areas my floods were lighting up always seemed a bit too dark for my liking. One unfortunate feature of LED is that it won’t go nearly as dim as my incandescent, but it doesn’t affect me as I don’t need a light that is barely lit. I do not know if this is a by-product of my dimmer switch or the fact that overall, this LED is 150 lumens brighter than my incandescent. In either case, it dims to an acceptable “dim” level (about 15% of overall brightness vs 5% for incandescent) and for my use I do not need or use the extremely dim setting ever, so I did not remove a star or even half a star for this.COLOR ***** : The light rendition is quite accurate at 2700K, nice soft warm light that won’t make your space feel like an office with overhead florescent lighting or a warehouse with really harsh florescent or halogen lighting. G33kman’s suggestion of the daylight (5000K) variation #425306 (that Amazon no longer carries) as an alternative is far to white-bluish and harsh, really harsh. I purchase one to test out compared to these from a famous national hardware store that begins with Home, and I found that the light produced was far too stark for home use, and it felt like a spotlight that you’d use in an operating room or dentist chair or oncoming xenon high beams. This light on the other hand has great color rendition – performed some test photos with my DSLR and easily set 2700K as the white balance and images came out nearly spot on.AESTHETICS & FIT ***** : As mentioned at the top of my review these LEDs are a perfect replacement for the BR30 form factor. I even placed my old incandescent floods in the packaging that these bulbs came in and it fit light a glove. So long as you are purchasing the correct bulb for the correct fixture you shouldn’t have a problem replacing your old lights for these. Philips offers a BR40 variation that fits floods that are typical of 75W/100W or higher floods (longer neck and wider bulb). Unlike the other competitors on the market these lights don’t LOOK like LEDs, and the diffusion lens in front of the LEDs is not at all transparent, just enough opaqueness to hide the fact that they are LEDs and allow for a good balanced wash of light (no harsh spots like some competitor LED bulbs). Some people have mentioned in their reviews that depending on your angle to the light you may see some glaring from LEDs which I do not believe to be true, these lights are 26% brighter than traditional bulbs they replace so that glare could be a byproduct of the higher light output. I can stand in various angles from my flood lights and I cannot see any flares, but as I have mentioned they are significantly brighter. If you have flood fixtures that the bulb is not enclosed these LEDs do not have the ugly heat sink design on the body of the bulb; the smooth white neck of the bulb and aluminum finish around the lens makes the Philips LED flood look very modern and pleasing to any home decor. If you have flood lighting fixtures that are position-able, you may have issues with the added weight of these bulbs, but that is likely the case with any LED replacement bulb. Just tighten your hinges and your lights should stay in place.PRICE **** : At 12-13X the cost of traditional incandescent bulbs this might be a hard pill to swallow, as cost savings probably won’t be offset for 2-3 years of use. So it’s a bit more of an initial investment for most people. However, at a energy savings of 80% of a traditional bulb it’s replacing you won’t feel guilty if you left a light on when you leave the house. In one hour use of a traditional bulb you’ll get 5 hours with this one and the added benefit of cooler operating tempurature (less A/C in the summer) and a brighter light. Look for these lights on a price dip and you’ll gain even more cost savings benefit from switching and making your home more green. These have a 5 year warranty from the manufacturer but I suspect that like most other LED bulbs you’ll get a 22 year life span from these based upon a 3 hour/day use. That’s more than most people live in one place!PACKAGING *** : I wasn’t willing to wait for Amazon’s frustration-free packaging option to ship to me (1-3…
