Thanks, had a look through but completely missed that
Bought them at this price last night from woolies aswell. Was bayonet cap though.
What's bayonet cap, mate? Couldn't understand it.
Google is your friend.
Just did and found it. How do I know if I need ES or BC type of bulb? I will need to remove the existing bulb and check.. right?
@ntt: Verified. Thanks, mate! Some things in life are such a puzzle when you have never done it yourself or electricians have always been handy (read: life abroad).. haha :-)
@Dacs: Not literally, but for most of basic electrical tasks since services are damn cheap in the country where I come from. Same with plumbers, carpenters, mechanics, and so on.
Bought one of these for the garage Philips 9W BC A Shape LED Globe https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-9w-bc-a-shape-led-globe_… $6.70
The equivalent ES was $16.70
Cheaper (and brighter) than the 50% off LEDs at WW last week!
Edit: didn't realise the special was still going at WW. See above.
How is this compare to the Philips in woollies ? Some "semi insider" said Bunnings's is better
Can someone confirm this ?The $4 globe is better value compared to WW because it's the 6W model rather than 4W.
The $6.70 globe that rgavin linked is technically better because it's the more expensive "scene switch" model. Not sure why they price matched using this model because my Bunnings sell the exact same 9 and 9.5W globes as WW does.
Thanks for that. I was thinking along the line of they used inferior materials for those bulbs in WW compare to Burning

what's the difference?
How bright is this? Would two be bright enough for a 20sqm loungeroom?
A standard room globe gives off 900 lumens. So this is half as bright.
What is there now? Is that bright enough?
Anecdotal but yes it would illuminate the room. I have mine I bought in my bed side lamp and is the lowest watt one and iss too bright imo. It depends how bright you want your loungeroom. This would be more a bit dimmer 'ambience' light than a real bright kitchen light, imo.
Any one tell me how these compare to the old style 60W/80W globes?
I know they're energy efficient but what about light output what's the equivalent to a 60w clear globe ?60W incandescent - ~850 lumens.
One of the 9W globes is roughly equivalent to an old 60W. But probably a bit less.many thanks
The colour is a bit off with these Phillips LED's. I bought a bunch of warm whites (~1000lm I think) to put into a house I have and at first glance they appear okay but incandescent gloves simply have a warmth which these ones can't match. They are reasonable for LED though - my there are some horrific LED's out there.
These 470lm ones might be like a 40w incandescent globe.
I actually bought just 2 to try of the "Cool Daylight $4.44" ones & replaced an incandescent 60W globe. .
All I can say is WOW, about twice as bright !
Went back & bought 12 more! Massive saving on power there.
Eww Only a CRI of 85. Warm White just means everything will have a yellow tinge to it!
It is super cheap tho so can't complain
Really want something cri 90 or higher if realistic / accurate colours is of any concern.
Its colour is 3000. This is standard warm White that the vast majority of houses use.
Yes but to get 3000 Kelvin they apply a yellow phospher coating on a blue led.
The cri is low and thus every thing the light bounces off and hits your retina ends up having a very "off" look as opposed to a high cri like Nichia cri 95 Warm White led. But without comparing side by side most people would be ok with a cri of 85, I'm just abit of a led snob. :p
Brought some last week. Found the warm white was a nice light at 3000k, not too yellow, not to white. Some of my other LEDs from Ikea were 2700k that were too yellow.
Ah thank you. This explains why I've found Phillips globes to be a weird colour and not in line with the stated colour temp. Not a fan.
I agree…I'm more of a fan of 3000k as it's a great compromise. I hate the overly yellow 2700k globes, but equally hate the cold coolwhite globes too. 3000k is a nice bright white without looking cold or yellow.
Can you recommend an E27/B22 type brand that uses Nichia CRI95 LEDs?
Seems there arnt any that I can find. Well there are some gu10 ones with a b22 adaptor. But can't find regular globe Style :/
@Cluster:
From memory you can't search by CRI but every bulb has the CRI listed here: http://www.ledbenchmark.com/Although you're probably looking at $15~ per bulb and if you're really keen you can call a few local lighting and LED suppliers.
@Cluster: The below info is taken from whirlpool:
- Ikea LEDARE E27 11W, 93 CRI
- Soraa Vivid MR16, 11.5W, 96 CRI
- Lighting matters LM X15, 15W, 97 CRIThat lighting matters bulb looks good, very pricey but highest cri rating I've seen now. The older Nichia cri 93 mr16 was a favorite on Whirlpool too.
Thanks for the find
I installed the 9W cool white Philips LED bulb in the bathroom last week, after the ALDI CCFL blew it's guts prematurely.
Next day I was giving the kids a bath and got a bit worried, since the one year old looked like she had bruises all over her after being at childcare that day. Once I got her out of the bathroom and into a different room, I realised that what looked like bruises in the bathroom were just some minor slightly redish skin discolourations that were not to be worried about.
That leads me to conclude that the CRI on these bulbs must be pretty bad. I also noticed that the red on the toothpaste tube is too dark. The LEDs must not emit much in the longer red wavelengths. To be honest, I'm not very impressed with LED lighting. CCFLs were a step down from incandescent bulbs in terms of colour fidelity, but they look great when compared to LEDs. It's high time that someone started manufacturing LED lights with quantum dot coating. Make it a fully multi-spectral cocktail please!
@peteru:
Yep I second that. I'm sure that's the next thing in lighting using quantum dots to get a broad spectrum of accurate colour rendition. Not sure oled lighting will compare.I was never impressed with any leds until I took whirlpool forum advice on the nichia led, I know I keep going on about them, but the difference was night and day.
Keen to try this 97 cri as mentioned above now.
@ezarc: I wish IKEA would stock bayonet light bulbs. They have B22 to E27 adapters, but the extra length usually makes the bulb stick outside the light fitting causing a severe amount of glare.
@Cluster: To be fair, Australia should probably rid itself of bayonet fitting. Only the cheapest crappiest luminaires still use them anyway.
@coxymla: I had a house built four years ago and it's bayonet throughout. Only thing that's changed from bayonet to edison screw over the past 20 years are desk lamps. Both types are slowly being phased out anyway.
That would have been up to you and your electrician. I'm in NSW and out of the last three properties I lived in, about 75% of the light fittings were ES and 25% BC (not counting various fluoro fittings)
Majority of the BC fittings were in a house that's over 100 years old and almost all of those light sockets would have been from the 70s or older. Everything else that was installed in the last 20 years was ES.
Went to Bunnings Cannington.
No price tickets up.Register has the "correct" price but that means ES only. BC is normal price. :(
Go to woolies.
Does anyone know where I can buy 1200+ lumens that's skinny in bulb shape? I have oyster lights and the highest lumens count I have is 810 lumens, but the oyster lights frosting makes it too dim :(
Probably going to be a real challeng to find, as the heatsink size required to keep a 1200lumen led(s) cool would take up some space.
You can get a 1000 lums Mirabella one (check Coles/Masters/
Kmart)Go have a look through the Philips range, as the newer model have been getting physically smaller.
I had the same problem with globes inside a fan.
Change the fitting to a R7S linear.Downside is that you will have to buy globes off eBay.
The latest Philips 13W is 1400 lumens and standard globe sized, but ~$19 RRP
Bought the Philips 6W warm LED at Woolworths for $4.49 last week, so this offer is really good. The colour is pleasant (to me) and it's bright enough to use as a large desk lamp. You'll need at least 800lm to light up a small room.
We use the 9w cool whites (bayonet), we find the warm whites too yellow. My partner has confirmed that they were marked as full price at Innaloo (Perth) but upon scanning the discount was there.
For anyone interested, masters at Canberra airport at least have LED down lights marked down from $6 each to $1.
You should post it as your own deal if theres enough in stock :)
Nah, people here are awful, they will complain you didn't call every store to find out if the special is elsewhere. This is easier, hopefully someone will benefit. For the record I oz bargained all but 3 boxes of the pin type connectors, plenty of the larger spade type connector style left.
Great deal - I priced-beat bunnings, at masters for 9W BC $6.03
9W BC now showing at $9.95 on Buunnings website.
Does this deal already expired?
other two still reduced :)
Also, Warm White is $3.95
