LED Lightbulbs - super efficient light bulbs

• gaLj on 22 Aug 16 @ 01:35 AM #

  Hindi ko pa na try un 9W na Omni, un 6W and 3W puti sya
  

  
  
  Medyo pale white yung kulay comparable nxtled.
  
  Yung bulb na 9watts pagtumagal magkaka cracks yung plastic exterior.

  yung plastic part sa LED bulbs are prone to discolor or brittle sa tagal unless kung yung source plastic nun is of higher quality hinde dapat nag-crack kahit pundi ng LED bulb
  
  however glass based cover sa LED by time hinde kasing grabe humihina yung light efficiency kesa sa plastic ones in the case kung matibay ang LED driver and light area is concerned pero downside nito ay fragile

  nagkakaroon nga ng cracks yung omni, malapit sa base. 9w

• AmalgamvsAloof on 22 Aug 16 @ 10:03 PM #

  well this is the first time I have heard of any branded LED bulb getting cracks or becoming yellowish

• AmalgamvsAloof on 22 Aug 16 @ 10:06 PM #

  So should I go for "general use" then?

  
  probably
  
  

  Sam ga binanggit mo for general use, halos same lang ba sila ng performance?

  
  check the ratings on the box to be sure
  
  
  

  Or pinakamaganda ang NXLed?

  
  check the price and the ratings. although nxled is the only brand which has dual color and multi mode (to use a led flashlight term) bulbs. multi mode means adjustable brightness, 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%
  
  
  

  Di ba may promo ang Firefly ngayon?

  
  ewan

  Guys,
  
  Mapapalitan ko pa kaya tong Ges 9w bulb ko ? Napalitan na ito before pero nasira ulilt. Pasok parin sa 2 year warranty, pwede paba replace ng handyman ?
  
  Yung isa 1st time lang nasira, pero umiilaw kaso parang naging dark bluish yung ilaw. Mahal pa naman nito, nasa 400+ before.
  
  Dalawa pala na GES bulb yung papalitan ko this weekends.

  Nakapagpawarranty ako last week sa ace hardware busted na yung isang NextLED na dimmable. Kinuha resibo ko. Pero sabi naman pwede mag claim kahit yung picture lang basta naka print na pag pupunta kayo.
  
  @gaLj
  Balitaan mo kami sa claim mo. Para ma confirm kung yung warranty ba ay once only or for the whole warranty year coverage.

  Sa handyman, mag-issue sila ng new receipt pagnareplace.

  Update ko kayo. Sa friday ko papalitan.
  
  Nakakainis yung 9w nila, 3-6 hours a day ko lang buksan. Wala pang 1 year na sila after na palitan. Yung 5 firefly's ko umaabot ng 10-12 a day for over 2 years na, wala namang akong issues.

  bought 2 GES 99.75 peso 300 lumen 3.5w e15 bulbs
  
  
  
  
  one has a small defect. turn it upside down and the white plastic thingie around the LED emitters falls down. fortunately it falls back when you turn it right side up. But it still works since my chandeliers have the bulb pointing up
  
  so lesson learned, always shake a new bulb upside down

  manufacturing/production fail yan.... either umaasa sila sa design ng case without adhesive or kung meron mang adhesive hinde lahat nilalagay sa production run

• gaLj on 28 Aug 16 @ 06:14 PM #

  Update ko lang.
  
  Napapalitan ko yung GES na 9w (2 year warranty) sa Handyman. Pangalawang palit na. Kaso pinalitan ng cheap ng 9w. Phase-out na raw 7 and 9 watts na may 2 year warranty. Mag-expire warranty pala sakin sa Sept 4 2016.
  
  Pwede magpapalit twice as long as walang burnt. physical or water damage and with receipt.
  
  ----
  
  Yung 40k hours nila na bulb. Tumagal lang na 2 year and 1 month. More than 18K burning hours (24/7). Pinalitan din naman agad.

  Guys question po, bumili kc ako sa ac3 ng nxled 14w circular led dimmable ceiling lamp. Napansin lang namen ng nka kabit na sya pag nka off yung switch ehh parang glow in the dark sya or parang nka on p sya ng 5% kahit nka of na switch nya. Hindi namen napansin nung tinest kc maliwanag sa ac3.
  
  normal lang ba yun sa nxled na kahit nka off na yung switch ehh parang nka on pa din sya kc nag gglow sya,(hindi sya mapapansin pag maliwanag or me sinag ng araw sa room)meron akong firefly 20w circular ceiling lamp pero hindi naman ganun gaya sa nxled,totaly off sya pag nka off ang switch.
  
  Thanks sa sasagot.

  yes that's a problem with some brands like GES (not sure if all models) if you have grounded electrical wiring. I noticed that and moved the GES bulb to another room in the house and it went away. Then replaced it with firefly

  Sir possible bang grounded yung connection nun? Gamit kc namen dun dati is firefly 20w circular ceiling lamp pero ok sya, pag nka off ung switch totaly nka off yung lamp hindi gaya ng nxled na pag nka off yung switch parang nka on p din sya makikita mo lng pag madilim.

  sinamantala ko ulit sale sa SM kahapon. Firefly 11w (186php) and 9w (154php) ang nabili ko. dapat Philips eh kaya lang 1yr warranty lang daw. ??
  
  
  Firefly 9w DL 810lm 200°
  vs
  Omni 9w DL 800lm 270°
  
  -Identical shape and size. parang isa lang ang hulmahan.
  -same lang ng brightness.
  -beam angle parang wala namang pinagkaiba.
  -slightly mas maputi yung ilaw ng Firefly.

• AmalgamvsAloof on 03 Sep 16 @ 09:49 PM #

  isnt that what I said? or rather, that is a logical extrapolation from my statement

  200 and 270 are not that close

• jef_720 on 04 Sep 16 @ 08:06 PM #

  Tested again in a different room pero wala talagang noticeable difference sa liwanag ng kisame.
  
  Ang napansin ko eh 'parang' lamang ng bahagya sa overall room brightness yung Firefly. +10 lumens ftw :D

• ahyen on 06 Sep 16 @ 05:47 PM #

  Ma-try nga Firefly 9W. Tingin ko talaga, lumen ang may noticeable difference. Di ko sure sa beam angle. Siguro if same generation ginamit, parang pareho lang ng beam angle. Or depende din yata sa design ng bulb?

• gtgonzales on 06 Sep 16 @ 06:10 PM #

  madali mapansin ang beam angle difference kung upside down ang bulb like in a table lamp. sa wide-angled bulbs, you can still see light near the base ng lamp. sa narrow-angled bulbs, walang ilaw sa base.
  
  hindi pansin ang difference kung maliit ang room or low-ceiling kasi tumatalbog ang ilaw sa sahig at pader.

• mangyver on 20 Sep 16 @ 12:58 PM #

  may nakapag-try na po sa inyo magpa-warranty ng LED bulb? yung nabili ko kasi na 13W na GE, after 5 months dumilim na agad :(

• gtgonzales on 20 Sep 16 @ 03:07 PM #

  Kakapa-warranty ko lang ng 6w 1-yr GES LED bulb sa Ace Hardware. Bulb lasted only 2 months, kinabahan tuloy ako dahil andami kong biniling 1yr warranty GES bulbs. Baka hindi magtagal ang mga ito.
  
  Anyways, ang ok sa ACE, hindi nila kinuha ang orig na receipt unlike sa SM Hardware section. Pero walang available na 6w kaya 9w ang binigay sa akin. Problem ko is 4-bulb room ang pinanggalingan ng sirang bulb kaya dapat parehas ang lumens.
  
  Mabilis ang pag replace nila ng bulb. Tingin lang sa resibo at test ng defective bulb, palit na agad.
  
  Q; Meron bang Omni LED "globe" bulb (16w/1200lm/270deg) or any other breand na warm white?

• roceanoz on 21 Sep 16 @ 08:26 AM #

  Anyways, ang ok sa ACE, hindi nila kinuha ang orig na receipt unlike sa SM Hardware section

  
  Nabubura naman katagalan ang resibo. Ang sabi naman nila kahit photocopy lang pwde na kung burado na yung original na resibo. Although di ko pa nasubukan. Meron ba dito nakapag pa warranty ng photocopy ng resibo lang?

• gtgonzales on 21 Sep 16 @ 09:34 AM #

  Nabubura nga, kaya I always photocopy them. Pag nagpa-warranty, I bring both.
  
  Hindi ko pa nasubukan na photocopy lang ang dala para magpa-warranty.

• roceanoz on 21 Sep 16 @ 12:44 PM #

  Masusubukan ko na sana before. Dala ko orig receipt tsaka yung picture sa phone ko ng resibo. I want to test kung ubra walang orig receipt so I showed only the image sa phone kasi kala ko need lang nila makita yung receipt. Yun pala need nila ng hard copy sabi sa akin magpa print daw muna ako. Argh, I chose to just give them the orig receipt kesa maabala pa ako. =)

  Guys san nakakabili ng led bulb na pang kotse? Thanks
