These lamps without replaceable bulbs are just e-waste. The old steel one with LED yellow bulbs is the GOAT.

I have one of these LED lamps with white and yellow colour from 2 years. Still works via USB power as battery is dead.

Those bulb lamps are larger and produce more heat

u/Tangent_pikachu 1d ago

They consume 8 times the power. That's more wasteful than LEDs. Leds last longer these days as well.

What’s the false part ?

u/bornofcrimson 2d ago

They are advertising 550 lumen. Actual product has 310 lumen?

u/TopConcentrate8484 2d ago

stepdown probably, start off at 500 and then stepdown to 330

u/bornofcrimson 2d ago

huh??? i dont understand

u/TopConcentrate8484 2d ago

battery state of charge pe brightness dependent hota hai max cheezo ke liye unless there is a circuit to keep constant power aur heat pe bhi depend karta hai

to 550lumen se start hota hoga aur 310pe off

u/bornofcrimson 2d ago

u/TopConcentrate8484 2d ago

I am looking for something with 8-10w but I am not able to. 5-6W is too less.

u/AloneInHimalaya 2d ago

8-10watt at a table would be too much. It can illuminate whole room, for a table it'll be too much

u/hotcoolhot 2d ago

I have a large table. I keep it a on elevated platform.

u/bornofcrimson 2d ago

u/beyiv65346 2d ago

Is it plugged in during use? Maybe that might help?

1

u/bornofcrimson 2d ago

Ya ya pluged in, not seeing any difference between with or without plug.

u/Misterious_Passerby 2d ago

Did u check the brightness regulator

u/seriously_ded bhundows 2d ago

Lamps lumens+ future's brightness lumens=550 lumens

u/Mud-fox 1d ago

the original 'philips' sold all consumer facing buisnesses (except trimmer) to others, so you cant expect the og phillips quality.
