Philips LED Dusk-To-Dawn Outdoor A19 Light Bulb Flicker-Free 800 Lumen Soft White Light 2700K 8W 60W E26 Base

I've had these installed in light fixtures at my front and back door for almost 4.5 years and they've been great. I just leave the light switches for those lights on and added a couple light switch cover plates inside so no one accidentally turns them off. It's great peace of mind knowing that I don't have to think about them and they just turn on when it starts getting dark and turn off in the morning when it gets light, super simple. I see many neighbors with their outside lights on all day either on purpose or by accident and I realize how convenient these are. I also like that they are 60w equivalent brightness, so not overly bright, and 2700k color temp, basically that of an incandescent bulb so they add a nice soft color outside and I'm not blasting my neighbors with super intense 5000k+ white light. These just provide reliable light coverage that I don't have to think about and I have an additional standard bright overhead light above my garage for the purpose of picking up actual motion close to the house. As far as any issues, it's been extremely minimal, so minimal that I've never once been annoyed with them and still believe they are 100% worth purchasing. I have two bulbs in operation and they've been the same two since I purchased them - about maybe 1-2 times a year at most one of them has not turned on at night. I just turn off the switch, wait a few seconds and turn it back on and it's good to go. I figure it's electronics inside, so no different than rebooting any device periodically. Only one time in the last 4+ years did one of them do the "flickering" some people mention. But same as before, just turned it off and back on and it's good to go. Read more

They are bright and have been working great for more than five years now. I just feel I have to keep them in stock Read more

Outstanding. Better than I had hoped. Works better than a Philip's Hue. Read more

This is the second time I have purchased this item. The first set performed perfectly, so I have replaced more of the outside lights around my house. I never have to worry about coming home to a dark house. Read more

Have tried other bulbs with dusk to dawn sensors that did not truly sense the ambient light well, and they would come on only in the dead of night, sometimes would not turn off, and never seemed consistent. I put these Philips bulbs in my porch fixtures in the front and back of my home and they are really, really good at sensing when the lights ought to come on. And they turn off consistently in the morning. The bulbs themselves are rated for 800 lumens of soft white light. Subjectively these are strong lumens, as the 8 watts they consume are roughly equivalent to the 13watt philips bulbs I used to replace 75 watt incandescent bulbs. I used one of these bulbs as the primary light in my laundry room downstairs and it does a good job. I really like these bulbs, they cost a little more than generic sensor bulbs, but they work SO much better in my experience. Light output, quality of light and the high quality sensor really make these bulbs my "Go to" bulb for places where I need light that will turn itself off at dawn. I have Philips Led bulbs throughout my home and have not yet had ANY failures for going on three years. These are my new "Go to" bulbs for when I need a light sensor bulb. HIghly recommended.

May 8, 2022 Still working, on at dusk and off at dawn! Had a problem last year with one of the bulbs at the back patio, the photo sensor was pushed in a bit as shipped, and allowed insects to get in, thereby blocking the photosensor, so the bulb did not work. Once I cleared out the bugs with a blast of air, I taped over the photosensor with clear tape and it immediately began to work again. Great product! Original Review: These dusk-to-dawn bulbs work exactly as they're supposed to, haven't had any problems since I installed them. They fit in the light fixtures just like a regular bulb and don't stick out like they would if you used a screw in light sensor. They provide enough light to get around - I don't think they're overly bright. They provide great safety and security when coming home after dark. Read more
