Philips 1055 Lumen ES LED Bulb 2 Pack, Cool White

I purchased three boxes of these so far. They produce nice, warm light for a study and a kitchen area. However, I have had an entire box worth of these globes spontaneously fail after a few weeks of use. Given typical LED life estimates are some 10000hrs, this is not good enough. Unfortunately, the high failure rate is enough to make me consider similar brand's products in future.

Purchased this in February 2023 and again in March 2023. Found 1 faulty globe out of 4 in each box. This is unexpected from a well established company like Philips. I also reached out to Philips which is time wasted as their advice was to return the product. Bunnings accepted the return with no issues. If you intend on purchasing thesebulbs please either check the bulbs and keep the receipt or consider other brands, but also retain the receipt in the event you need to return the product. My error was to trust the reputation of Philips and not testing the bulbs before using. So, after fitting the bulbs in the garden sensor light and reinstalling everything I found 1 to be faulty and I had to climb the ladder to redo the whole process and replace that faulty bulb. ... MorePurchased this in February 2023 and again in March 2023.

So, after fitting the bulbs in the garden sensor light and reinstalling everything I found 1 to be faulty and I had to climb the ladder to redo the whole process and replace that faulty bulb. That was quite a task with my garden light design. Partially my fault for assuming that Philips is a brand to trust and not testing all the bulbs on purchase before use. I returned 1 complete box with 2 faulty bulbs and received a refund. I notified the counter regarding the faulty bulbs but the staff seems to be preoccupied and I hope that that box of bulbs is not returned to the sales shelf for an unsuspecting customer.

Bulbs were just what I ordered/needed. They were.super bright for my garage and their smaller size than CFL allowed me to put the white glass ball back onto the fitting over the bulb.Works fine.Uses less than CFL and I got 3 so postage was only 3 dollars per bulb. Put other two outside house back door and side door.I recommend these but consider buying a spare or two to save on postage as 10 days llars a time adds up doesn't it.
