Questions and Answers for Philips 120-Watt Equivalent Halogen PAR38 Dimmable Indoor/Outdoor Long Life Floodlight Bulb

A:  Yes! Please search for Philips part # 467936 or Home Depot SKU #1002313961 for a 120W equivalent PAR38 LED

A:  I don't know. I like this bulb very much just as it is, for its brightness and its trueness to colors, which most long-life bulbs do not offer (they distort reds, blues and can appear dim or grim.) I hope they don't change this item; it's nice to know that I can source it at Home Depot and should be buying another one in the near future.

A:  This can be used outdoors.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, it absolutely can! However, as with all things electrical, it's wiser if it's covered.

A:  Yes.

A:  I live in central Missouri and use mine at a outdoor location without structural coverage over the outdoor security light fixture the bulbs are used in and they perform fine. I have had the fixture in use for more than a year now, without replacement bulbs.

A:  Front glass warm but the base will burn bad.

A:  No, they are just light bulbs. You would have to buy a fixture that has a motion sensor on it.

A:  Yes, they do. You can select the detection range on the detector unit.

A:  Yes. You will need the right fixture for the bulbs.

A:  Yes

A:  The bulbs come on at full brightness as soon as they are activated to turn on by your light fixture's sensing device. The bulbs, themselves, do not dense movement.

A:  The bulb itself has no sensor. It is used in conjunction with a motion sensor interior- exterior security light fixture. The bulb doesn't produce the brightness of a regular bulb, but do a good job of lighting up the exterior of our house.

A:  The box says it is dimmable.

A:  We have manual diming

A:  Dusk to dawn is not the dimmable feature. It will do that w/o dimming It's either on or off in that mode. The dimmabel feature is a reduction in light while it's on. Some security lighting allows for this feature. They stay on all night, but with reduced light level unless activated by the motion sensor at which time they come up to full brightness until movement is no longer detected. I use these bulbs in that type of fixture and they work fine.

A:  A Halogen lamp rated for 130V, can be replaced by a Halogen lamp rated for 120V as long as the main supply voltage is 120V. You will get a bit less light than that of a 130V, but the lamp will work okay. If the mains voltage is 130V and you use a 120V lamp, the lamp life will be reduced. Other than that, the lamp will work okay.

A:  Yes - However I found the lamination was not the same - I have two outside systems one with the older incandescent bulbs (120 w) you can notice the difference with both the shadow and ability to see a nickel on the ground

A:  YES

A:  YES AND WORK

A:  yes as long as there is room

A:  Yes you can.

A:  Performs the same in my opinion in the security light I have them installed in. 1. Just as bright in my opinion, operates the same. 2. No, instant on just like an incandescent.

A:  No it does not need to warm up. It's not a delicate as a halogen and it does not put off the heat a halogen does.Lights above 3000K are brighter and crisper to me.

A:  1. Yes I think it compares well to a standard halogen bulb. It lights bright, does not flicker at all, and continually stays the same brilliance. 2. No it comes on just like a normal halogen bulb - quickly and with a uniform brilliance.

A:  Hello lights123, Philips EcoVantage is all about savings without sacrifice. Philips EcoVantage products allow you to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing the qualities of a traditional bulb. Halogen bulbs work similarly to incandescent bulbs, by heating a filament of tungsten metal. Halogen products are filled with a special gas that causes the vaporized tungsten to be deposited back onto the filament allowing Halogen bulbs to last longer,and be more efficient. This light bulb will not take extra time to warm up and will provide a bright, white wide beam of light. This product is also fully dimmable. Hope you find this response helpful. If you have any more questions, please let us know.

A:  Yes, I replaced a 150w traditional flood light and couldn't tell the difference.

A:  yes, performs like an incandescent. I turn on the switch and the bulb lights up right away. The color of the light is good - almost better than an incandescent. It gets very hot though.

A:  IT IS BRIGHTER

A:  No - Not as bright
