ah i should have waited and gotten the 23W instead but maybe ill just get it anyways

Nice, I have one of these too. They do resemble incandescent light pretty well.

I have the 12.5w version and it's pretty nice in terms of colour and brightness for a LED.

The Utilitech LEDs i have are 7.5 watts and i have to say they give off around the same amount of light as a 60W incandescent lamp, though they're very directional, which bothers me a little but. I love the color of the LEDs too over incandescent. Incandescent is too yellowish IMO while the Utilitech LEDs seem to be more of a halogen color... I have yet to get some of these. Last i checked the price was too much for my taste.

@Michael if you want to buy halogen bulbs check out Wal-Mart they sell 4 packs of halogen bulbs for as little as $3.68 for the Great Value cheapolas. But they also have GE and Sylvania 4 packs at $4.62 and $5.49 respectively, more expensive but cheaper than Lowes. The most expensive ones are the Sylvania double life halogens at $6.88. Be careful of the Mexican GE 72 watters they are ok but some have severely stretched filaments so check the bulbs before buying.

I've never seen medium base halogens used before (i do see them on shelves for sale), though i've seen them used in floodlights and i strongly prefer the color. Do they make frosted/diffused halogen lamps or just clear ones? How much more efficient is halogen over incandescent?
Silverliner14B   [Oct 05, 2012 at 12:43 AM]
I thought you bought some Sylvania 72 watters last year? The halogen household bulbs are slightly whiter than standard incs, indeed nice. They are selling very well here at Wal-Mart like people still think they are regular incs, only complain that prices "went up" lol.
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Oct 05, 2012 at 01:24 AM]
Well, they're basically incandescent...
A_lights   [Oct 05, 2012 at 05:07 AM]
Yeah more efficient and longer life becAuse the halogen gas (think so) keeps the filament from burning up.since it runs at a higher temp and pressure

I wonder what other states other than Maryland had reduced the prices of the LEDs? In Maryland those Philips Ambeint LEDs 8 watt, are
12 dollars and 15 dollars for 12.5 watt......

Information see here and here ......I can't find other information online for other electric companies in MD for 2012 but I saw they are doing same thing.....each electric companies select specific light bulbs to reduce prices.....one has more selections than others.....whoever provides the store electricity is the one who offers the products in that store!

It looks like Texas is doing same thing see here

Rhode Island does the same, they had the 12.5w ambientled for $12 when I was there two months ago. Here they discount the L-prize for $25, normal price is $50!
FGS   [Oct 05, 2012 at 09:26 PM]
L-Prize lamp has red LEDs in there alongside with the blue ones. Someone actually dissected one of the $50 L-Prize lamp! (WARNING! Loads of HUGE pics in the link!) WHEW! Now none of us can risk destroying a $50 lamp!

I was wondering what was so special about the L-Prize lamps over the Ambient-LED ones. Googled about it and found that link.

I saw a L-prizer lamp lit up at a Home Depot in Oxnard. I could see the red and blue emitters through the phosphor panels. Looked pretty good, a bit whiter than incandescent.

@ Dave; oh yes i forgot about those! Embarrassed They're 43W lamps to replace 60W lamps. I actually bought them by mistakethinking they were 60W incandescents. The lamps themselves are smaller too. I wonder what those BT-look-alike halogens would look like in my house. Very Happy

I've yet to see the L-prize LED show up here in Canada, I wonder how does it compare to the 12.5w AmbientLED.
GullWhiz   [Oct 06, 2012 at 01:58 AM]
I saw the L-Prize, they started to show up here in MD recently, they are 39.99 bucks each
streetlight98   [Oct 06, 2012 at 02:32 AM]
I have no idea what the heck you guys are talking about. Razz Laughing Can someone please fill me in on what a L-Prize lamp is. Confused BTW, are these lamps dimmable?
GullWhiz   [Oct 06, 2012 at 02:54 AM]
L-Prize lamp! <--- click on it.... and yes it's dimmable its even on the title.... Rolling Eyes
Silverliner14B   [Oct 06, 2012 at 04:18 AM]
@Joe347 and everybody, I memorized what my skin tone looked under the L-prize then compared to a 12.5w on display in the LED section of the bulb aisle, the L-prize rendered my skin slightly better but similar. The L-prize rendered my skin similar to incandescent also, just a slight difference. One big difference though, the Lprize isn't as hot as the 12.5w lamp, it just gets warm.

Looks like Phillips did a good job at selecting the capacitor. ..supposedly its rated at 128,000 hours at 50 deg C
