LED Lightbulbs - super efficient light bulbs

  • anong specific bulb and size? few choices sa mall's hardware are and some more sa car accessories shop like blade.

    pinakarami sa car parts specialty areas like banawe and evangelista.
  • Guys san nakakabili ng led bulb na pang kotse? Thanks

    Meron yan sa mga Car Accesories shop... Banawe QC, Evangelista, Makati at Finlandia St. Tapat ng Cash and Carry

    Legacy types like Autobulbs (1034/1141 or P21/5-P21) are commonly available LED ones... sa headlights so far nakita ko yung H4-P43T using SMD5050

    Kung DIY LED ones for Automotive pwede yung 12v SMD5050 Striplights
  • sa ebay or ali express napaka laki ng price difference for LED headlights and napaka laki ng difference sa choice. In my old toyota vios I had 1 dome light, 4 park lights, 2 backup lights all LED from ebay.

    I also bought 2 fog lights but it was too long and di kasya. Meh, chalk it up to experience nalang

    sa bagong honda mobilio ko di ko magawa at baka masira warranty
  • if you need highest lumens, use COB not SMD leds


  • Guys ano recommended type of ges bulb pwede sa cr ntin? Whitish ba or yellowish? Also pinkamagandang ges bulb pangliving room/bedroom
  • ^ I prefer daylight sa toilet.

    Nakabili ako kanina ng 9w Omni daylight, madilaw siya compare sa puting-puti na GES 7w (HECM 7WL-DL) at GES 8w tube (WT8B 8W-DL)

    Nakabili din ako ng Omni LED daylight na madilaw compared with GES 1-yr. bulbs. 6watts and 500 lumens ito, model LLA50E27-6w-DL.

    Nagpawarranty ulit ako ng GES 6w 1yr bulb and pagdating sa SM nagulat ako dahil umilaw ang bumbilya. Pag-uwi ko hindi na naman gumana. Yun pala, gumagana lang yung bulb pag nakabaliktad ang orientation ng bulb like what they have in SM.
  • Yun pala, gumagana lang yung bulb pag nakabaliktad ang orientation ng bulb like what they have in SM.


    then it should be warrantied. nappaltan mo na sir?

    im looking for the GES 6th gen ( the new one) hirap maghanap sa mga malls...

  • led headlight saan kayo nakakabili?
    thanks....
  • led headlight saan kayo nakakabili?
    thanks....


    meron sa da king. but mas mura online like sa ebay or aliexpress
  • Guys kapag led bulb ges brand patay sindi na parang disco na after around one year use...kaya ba palitan lag resistor yun o dispose na?
  • Guys kapag led bulb ges brand patay sindi na parang disco na after around one year use...kaya ba palitan lag resistor yun o dispose na?

    sa tingin ko po not worth it aayusin yung ilaw na blinking LED... at baka magkaroon ka ng disgrasya in the long run... unless kung meron kang background or graduate ka ng Electrical Engineering para maiayos yan

    LED bulbs are disposable unlike LED light fixtures na nakikita mo sa Soler and other LED light shops.... usually power ang issue nun wag lang LED bulb board

    kaya disposable mostly ang LED bulb yung design niya for the LED driver at Bulb Board ay maliit para maipasok sa bulb
  • I think knowledge in basic electronics is enough.
    hindi nmn rocket science yan.

    kung marunong mag solder and desolder, pwede yan itroubleshoot.
    papalitan lang nmn ng kapareho yung part na defective.
    at syempre para safe, yung good quality/brand dapat.

    then itest run sa labas several hours bago ikabit sa bokilya.

  • Got a set of Philips 9w E27 806 lumen (cool daylight), discounted price of PHP 685 for 4 units, so PHP 171.25 -- parang first time ko nakita ganito price and Philips kaya kinuha ko na. :-)
  • ...and 3 years ang supposed warranty ng Philips, BTW.
  • phillips usually has a poorer lumens per watt rating. But its branded, supposedly matibay. But we have to prove it and proof is going to be hard to get
  • may nakapagtry na po ba dito ng philip 2 scene mode led bulb nila?
  • But we have to prove it and proof is going to be hard to get

    time is not our side tho =/

    Phillips is one of the good brands tho... hopefully it should reflect in their LED

    supposedly what is their advertised operating hours like above 30000 hours (30k hours is probably el cheapo ones) right now I heard that somewhere 40000-50000 hours is probably an industry standard =/
  • Yung nabili kong Philips 13w 1400lm @P399.75 nakalagay sa box na it lasts up to 15years at 2.7hrs a day usage. So wala pang 15,000 hours.
  • led bulb na pede sa ref. meron na din kaya?
  • kung yung mismong LED talaga eh malamang aabutin ng 15 years pero yung electronics nya sa loob yun ang nasisira agad. yung LED na indicator light sa vintage westinghouse stereo namin nung bata pa ako malamang 30 yrs na yun hindi pa napundi or pinalitan ng techinician. halos hindi tinatangal ng sasakan yung stereo na yun kaya parating naka SINDI lang yung RED LED light tas pag ON mo ng stereo saka lang sya mamatay. ilang beses na nagpalit ng technology sa stereo ayos pa rin yung vintage stereo na yun pati LED light nya hehehe nakaka hiya na lang gamitin tsaka talo na talaga tunog nya pag sinabong mo sa bagong stereo or speaker ngayon

    sana gumawa ng matibay na electronic parts yung mga maker ng LED bulb para talagang tumagal or baka sinasadya para tuloy tuloy ang sales ng LED bulb kasi imagine mo kung matibay talaga pagka gawa nila kung 15 yrs bago mapundi eh year 2031 ka na ulit bibili ng LED bulb hehehe talo sila
  • led bulb na pede sa ref. meron na din kaya?


    you can buy either converters or actual led bulbs on ebay. I have one ref using a converter and 2 refs using native led bulbs of the appropriate socket

    the more reliable electronics in the ballast increase price. You can see that in GES bulbs. Mahal up to now ang 5 year models nila. But since nagsulputan ang mga low cost bulbs brands na mabilis masira, no choice sila but to release 2 and 1 year warranty models na mas mura in order to compete.

    Pinoy kasi, mahilig sa short term savings kasi walang pera (the tingi mentality)
  • more than 6 years na ata GES LED bulbs ko 3 watts lang sya pero almost 400 pesos hahaha ang mahal yung Qube LED Chandelier bulb 3 watts nabili sa Gilmore 110 pesos ata almost 3 years na kasi 2 years yung warranty nila sa 8 bulbs nabili ko 2 bumigay agad pero pinalitan agad kasi warranty pa, 1 year & 10 months nung bumigay pero palit NEW bulb pa rin

  • hirap talaga maghanap ng new gen ng ges bulbs puro old model nakikita ko.


    ako din hanap ako ng downlight/pinlight for my condo, kaso ayoko magbutas haha
  • @yunan;

    subukan mo omni downlights. last chance mo 20% discount sa dec 20. research mo muna which stores have ample display of omni products. need mo lang splice and butas ceiling.
  • @sethmartin
    thank you sir. tsaka nagbasa ako kanina anu ba mas maganda? yung gu10 po ba or yung integrated na yung led?

    -- edited by yunan on Nov 29 2016, 02:00 PM
  • @yunan:

    yung ginamit ko yung integrated type(8w/10w/15w/20w/25w). gusto ko rin sana yung gu10/mr16 type kasi madali lang palit pag na busted kaya lang lower watts/lumens lang compared to their regular downlights.
  • Down lights ko GES GU-10 or MR-16
    1W lang para tipid

    Sa kusina 3 pairs gamit ko kaya 6W lang total (warm)
    Hindi pa sabay sabay pinaiilaw yun - usually 1 or 2 sets lang at a time
    May isa din akong gamit naka tingala naman sa ibabaw as night light buhay ng 4 hours minimum nightly
    3rd year na nila in service ngayon still going strong
  • @ sethmartin @dulber
    salamat mga sir might look for gu10 para bumbilya na lng papalitan pag busted. i think sufficient yung number ng downlights ko para macompensate yung lower lumens. anu po bang magandang brand ngaun na matibay at mura?
