Philips Hue BR30

The BR30-shaped Philips SceneSwitch LED is one of the most efficient floodlights we've ever tested, and it aced our brightness tests, too. The three distinct light settings are a nice bonus that you won't get with other bulbs at this price.

The SceneSwitch floodlight is only available as a mixed-tone bulb, so if you'd rather have a third soft white brightness setting instead of that daylight setting, you're out of luck. It also won't work with traditional dimmer switches.

The Philips SceneSwitch floodlight is a great bargain, and a smart way to bring some limited dimming capability into your home without needing to wire in new light switches.

The Philips SlimStyle BR30 is one of the most affordable LED floodlights you'll find, making it a great value for simple recessed lighting setups.

Like its predecessor, the SlimStyle flickers and buzzes when used with a dimmer switch. It also isn't as bright or as efficient as some of its competitors.

The price is right for this unique light, but as there are other options that offer notably better performance for a few dollars more, you may want to shop around.
