Customer Reviews for Philips 90-Watt Equivalent PAR38 CFL Light Bulb Soft White (2700K) (8-Pack)

I installed these bulbs in can lights over a bathroom vanity. The light output is good, although it does take about 1 minute for them to get to full brightness. There is also a slight variation of the "warmness" of the light color from bulb to bulb. The price was cheaper than most similar options I found. A wholesale club is the only place I found them cheaper. Overall I am pleased with the bulbs though and would buy them again.

Good light, good price. Would recommend to anyone needing these kind of lights

While it seems CFLs are on their out, these seemed like a good value for the money until they can no longer be found. I guess disposal is the big problem for CFLs.

These lamps are longer lasting and more energy efficient than the regular Par lamps.

Excellent product for very good price. Quick delivery and easy to install. Power saving is over 75%.

Installed outdoors in a new fixture. First one failed within two weeks, and the second, four weeks later. The second one had moisture inside with no discernible hole. While I have been quite satisfied with Philips bulbs in the past, I would steer clear of these. I replaced it with a Cree LED that puts out an incredible amount of light for 23 watts.

I have been using these CFL flood light bulbs in my security lights around my house for quite a few months now and have had great results. Very bright lights once they warm up and I have no complaints yet.

It's very easy to install and very good quality light bulb.

Have gone thru multiple packages of these bulbs, water gets inside bulb and then it shorts out. Has happened with multiple bulbs from multiple packages.

NEEDED 60 BULBS OF THIS STYLE FOR A BIG PROJECT. 1 CASE WAS BRIKEN DURING SHIPPING AND HAD TO BE RETURNED, AND OTHER11 LIGHT BULB FAILED INSTANTLY.

Good energy savings, nice and bright, but slow to get to full brightness. It was unfortunate that the store where we picked them up after ordering on-line couldn't/wouldn't honor the veteran's discount. Too many fields required to enter this review.

I bought the package of 8, and put 4 in my front yard. Within a week, after a rain or two, one of those four got water inside like some other reviewers have mentioned. While the bulb still worked fine, this made the silver backing inside the bulb come away at the bottom where the water sat. I replaced that one with a new one, and the 4 have been fine for weeks now through several rains. They throw a great warm white color, very pleasing for landscape lighting and not cold white/blue at all. Not quite as yellow as incandescent, but nice. They do take about 2 minutes to warm up, and are not dimmable, but for landscape lighting neither of those things matter. And it's great to know that these only cost me about 5 cents per evening to run, rather than the 22 cents my previous 90w bulbs were costing.

Excellent product, very satisfied with the bulbs. I have changed all the outdoor lights and they all look great.

good price great product. product was delivered in a timely mannor very pleased.

Installed Philips 23W Par38 bulbs in my outside security lights. All my Philips lighting have been quality buys and the Home Depot had them at a great price. Great brightness for a 90W replacement. Only reason to rate 4 stars is that one was broken upon delivery, still haven't returned to store yet. Very happy with this latest purchase.
