LED Lightbulbs - super efficient light bulbs

  • yung mga led mismo ang tumatagal, ang problema is yung circuitry/electical components ng bulb, yun ang unang bumibigay.

    the LED circuitry board tumatagal ng 30000 hrs o depende na sinasabi ng manufacturer

    Usually una napupundi yung LED driver at yun ang nagdadala ng koryente sa LED curcuit... yun lang nga hinde rin madali kasi iba-ibang specs ng LED manufacturer...

    Hmm... try ko nga isang araw kapag same LED bulb at kung napundi ang isa dahil sa LED driver failure at iliapt mo yung driver board sa luma... kung gumana eh di swerte =P
  • Same policy din ba sa Ace o ibang shops?
    Same policy din sa Ace. Pero I don't think it's really a policy of the store or of the supplier. Parang modus lang nila yan to limit the warranty replacement. Sa nangyayari ngayon, karamihan ng old LED bulb models ay wala silang pamalit. Pahirapan na papalitan nila ng newer models. Hindi na ako pumapayag na kunin nila ang resibo, pinapasulat ko na lang sila sa resibo ng date at model ng replacement. Kapag hindi pumayag, escalate mo and make a complaint sa management.

    Some of my receipts ay may multiple purchases kaya hindi nila magawang kunin ang resibo. Pero pag single purchase, pilit nilang kinukuha ang resibo.
  • Panahon na at dapat mag set na ng standard ang gobyerno para sa minimum longevity ng mga circuits na ito. Ilang piso at centavos lang naman ang dagdag tapos hahaba na yung life ng circuit. Marami kasing peke ngayon na lumalabas. Iyun lang naman kung seryoso ang gubyerno sa ganitong mga bagay.
  • meron ako nakita ginamit ng PLDT lineman sa pag connect ng wiring na d-snap-on. Nag google and nakita ko yung WAGO splice connector na pwede gamitin sa solid wire na 12gauge... pwede kong gamitin sa pag extend ng mga wiring connections kng maglalagay ng additional led lighting...

    meron ba sa inyo nakagamit ng ganito at kung meron sa Raon...

  • Has anyone tried using a smart LED bulb that works with the Broadlink RMP Pro device or with Amazon Echo device? Kumust aang experience?

    Am thinking about ordering the bulb or smart bulb sockets from Amazon.
  • any smart bulb you could recommend?




  • Bought the Omni 15w 1300lm daylight (1st pic) LED bulb to replace a sometimes flickering Omni 16w 1200lm (2nd pic) bulb. I thought the higher lumen and wider angle would provide better lighting sa dining room. Pero it was darker and yellowish.

  • @gtgonzales
    Sir yung big bulb na 16w ng omni po ba ay yung big white cover part ay plastic ba? If so those cover can get yellow over time

    Kasi yung glass po will get grayish or darker/diminish lumens because of dirt
  • I think plastic yung 16watter, but it's whiter than the new one (15watter) and definitely brighter. I placed the 15-watter bulb in our bedroom, yellow talaga yung ilaw. Hindi naman warm white, basta yellower than the usual daylight bulbs from GES or Philips.
  • Hindi nyo na ma recommend GES nowadays?

    Ano mga best bang for the back choices now?
  • still using ges, di pa napupundi ilang years na

    nakahabol narin ibang led brand sa tech ni ges
  • Ano ba magandang bilhin.

    I bought NXLed, Firefly, Akari a few years back. May bumigay na na isang Firefly 5W.
  • Bought osram bulbs nung magsale sa Ace kahapon. Good buy ba osram? alam ko bulb sila ng oto eh ehehe
  • using philips 9W LED.... still bright.... bought 5 years ago and used for a maximum 8 hours each day.... for comparison, the ccfl I bought before the philips only lasted 2 years...
  • Bought osram bulbs nung magsale sa Ace kahapon. Good buy ba osram? alam ko bulb sila ng oto eh ehehe

    Philips din merong Automotive lighting... Osram seems OK brand tho... we tried their CFL ones too...

    @redwing0001
    Somehow yung japanese branded LED bulb advertises that it should be as long as 10 years... pero more than 5 years na it should be good and should stay longer at least 8-10 years at 8 hours daily usage
  • I think it will last as long as 10 years.... It has not dimmed as much as the CCFL did after 1 year, even after 5 years.... not supposed to be surprising info.... but considering it costs the same price as the CCFL back then and how bright it still is after 5 years, it is surprising when I think about it.

    .... sometimes, I kinda forget I am using a 5 year old LED bulb day in and day out, and even as I type this, the keyboard is bathed with the LED light from the bulb...

    Of course, I am using an almost 50 year old Sanyo lampshade that I got from the junkyard... hmm....

    ^_^
  • Ma try nga Philips. Mas mahal pa din ba compared sa other brands?
  • yung mga Osram na 3W & 8W more than 2years na sila so far so good parin sila.
    meron din akongmga philips na 3W ayos din sila sa mga downlight socket.
  • Ma try nga Philips. Mas mahal pa din ba compared sa other brands?

    Medyo pricey siya... pero yung japan brands yung mas mahal... sa tingin ko asian source sa atin sa pinas
  • May LED ba na for ambient lighting(yellowish or amber)? I only bought white bulb na LED few years back sa ACE.
    I am planning to use all LED lights for my new home and would appreciate a store recommendation na mura. If may chandelier na LED okay din yun
  • yes meron warm white LED, meron nga warm white na filament na mukhang incandescent, rare ang cool white na led filament

    yes meron e14 na LED

    Merong chandelier na LED pero dapat tignan mo mabuti yung power supply/driver needed... kapag parehong pareho sa mga small fixture panel light at napakahirap ng replacement nun...

    Kung ginagamit niya 12v/24v driver inside ng chandelier at pwede pa naman makabili ka sa mga LED concept shop ng ganito... kung kakasya ang 100w driver sa loob ng chandelier base

    Dati kasi kami nagbebenta ng LED chandelier kaya alam ko paano gumana at ginawa ako troubleshooter doon =P
  • Ok ba yung mga LED tube with starter(?) pamalit sa fluorescent tube na may ballast pa?

    Hindi ba fire hazard? Malakas sa kuryente?
  • Ok ba yung mga LED tube with starter(?) pamalit sa fluorescent tube na may ballast pa?


    from what I know LED tube is supposedly direct not with Ballast... from FSL's LED Tube suggest that taking out the connection to ballast and started and the L and N wires should be on one side connector of the tube

    no such thing LED tube with starter..... supposedly the LED tube's is the complete light (the driver is located near the connectors of the tube) and you can hotwire them depending on where their line is (and yes the Signage guys are that cheap just by hotwiring the electric wire to the prongs of the LED tube)

    even FSL (Fo Shan Lighting) has no starter in their LED Fluorescent Tube fixtures just that their version is that the L and N (electric wires) are on the one side of the tube... actually nearly the same fixture as how T5 tube fixtures are (Sony's figure 8 connector even from PSP or Stereo unit to plug seems compatible on that too...)

  • Naencounter nyo na ba ung kahit nakaturn off na ung led light. May dim light pa din sa bulb? Just bought philips 5w. Sira ba to or ganito talaga.
  • yup sabi nga ng nanay ko parang nde pa rin patay yung ilaw dahil jan ehehe...
    pero we experience it using unknown brands like rohstar, etc...
  • Tried to different socket sa ibang room ok naman totally nakapatay. Tried other led bulbs to our rooms totally nakapatay din. Etong binili ko lang talaga at sa room mismo namin may dim light pa kapag nakapatay.

    Either yung bulb meron pang koryente kahit naka-off na sa switch...

    In my case sa LED na Panel light na ganito kapag grounded o nabasa dahil sa tulo ng bubong merong naglalabas ng dim light (pic below)

  • ^all the time may dim light kapag nakapatay. Hindi ung sandali lang may dim which is acceptable. Nakakacurious tuloy.
