That Lifespan is Rated at 25

If you are seeking to change a 100W mild bulb, you'll find a number of LED choices at prices that aren't practically as unreasonable as they were just a year or two ago. The current crop, together with the Philips 100W Equivalent LED, hovers right around the $20 value level. Initially priced at $25, Philips' LED has since been marked down a couple of bucks to $22, which remains to be slightly dearer than what you will see from rivals like GE and EcoLight solutions Cree. Philips justifies that by claiming an extra eighty lumens' worth of brightness over these two, EcoLight solutions together with superior dimming capabilities. However, our checks did not reveal any noticeable difference in both brightness or dimmability. That, EcoLight solutions along with the fact that Philips provides half the guarantee that you'll get with GE or Cree, makes this bulb difficult to suggest. Philips' 100W Equal LED shares the identical, flat-topped build of its smaller siblings in the 60W and 40W categories, however units itself apart with a novel design that splits the bulb into three sections separated by deep channels.
