Product Overview
The Philips A19 LED light bulb provides 1500 lumens of cool full-spectrum light, equivalent to a 100-watt incandescent bulb, while consuming significantly less energy. Designed for standard medium base (E26) fixtures, these bulbs offer a classic look with modern LED efficiency. They are non-dimmable and emit a bright white light at 5000 Kelvin, ideal for task lighting and brightening larger spaces with exceptional clarity and a high Color Rendering Index (CRI).
Constructed from durable, shatter-free plastic, Philips LEDs provide instant, flicker-free, natural light that maintains its quality over time. These mercury-free bulbs are designed for longevity, offering up to 10,950 hours or over 10 years of light based on typical usage.
