Product Information

Full details

This Philips CorePro LED Linear R7s bulb is ideal for users seeking an energy-efficient and long-lasting replacement for traditional 60W halogen R7s bulbs. Its key benefit is significant energy savings and reduced maintenance due to its 15,000-hour lifespan. A potential caveat is its classification within energy efficiency class E, which may not be the most efficient option available, though it still offers substantial savings over halogen alternatives. This bulb provides 810 lumens of warm white light (3000K) with a wide 300° beam angle, suitable for floodlights, security lights, uplighters, and floor lamps.
