Philips Ultra Efficient LED 60-Watt A19 Light Bulb, Soft White, Clear, Dimmable, E26 Base (2-Pack)

These are one of the few things that unexpectedly changed my life, in a way I didn't even realize was possible. Up until now, I didn't realize that soft white bulbs are actually yellow, but the daylight ones actually provide the bright white daytime lighting I prefer. I installed these bulbs in my bathroom and in my studio/workspace, and they have already made such a difference in the quality of my content. I also love having high-quality lighting for my bathroom vanity! I can't recommend them enough.

I had an overhead light that had the original 10.5 watt LED bulbs. They lasted for about 20 years, and last week one of them finally went bad. These new Philips ultra-efficient LED bulbs put out the same amount of light, because I compared them side by side. They are also a bit smaller than the original A19 LED bubs I had installed, and in my opinion are more attractive than the normal white frosted glass LED bulbs I had been using. What sold me though was the energy efficiency of these new bulbs. The original ones used 10.5 watts, but these new ones use just 5 watts, less than half the power. Over time, that savings adds up! I honestly had no idea these new LED bulbs were so much more efficient than the original LED bulbs. These ultra-efficient bulbs cost more than a standard LED bulb, but I decided they are worth the extra cost. The new bulbs are supposed to last 50,000 hours, compared to 15,000 hours with a standard LED bulb. That would come in handy if you are replacing a bulb that is up high and hard to get at. And, of course, you are saving the cost of a couple replacement bulbs. Boy, we sure have come a long way since the days of 1000 hour incandescent light bulbs!
