Is this Philips CorePro LEDspot MV any good?

rodge123

Looking to put 100 of these into our new build soon.

A good choice of LED?

Steve

Normally Phillips LED's are good, I have the master range and no complaints. Something about this one looks cheap tho.

I'd buy one, set it up in a dark room and test before buying 100 of them.

Now much are they costing?

Stoner

How much?

Have used something similar worked out well

The LLM is at 70 percent and it has an impressive 390 lumens so you'll have 70 of that by the end of the guarantee.

Decent lamp. For that amount you could ring Philips directly and get advice from them they have different lamps sometimes .

Do you want to dim them or turn them on with pirs etc, these things make a difference for 100 lamps I'd ask Philips directly

Steve

Actually, forget what I just said, I was confused with the previous version I had.

These are the newer version non dimmable, I have them everywhere, really pleased with them.

Keep or request the invoice for them, 1 or two will start to flicker within a year but they are covered under guarantee for 4 years (I think).

Father in law picked up 4 in Limerick for me at €5.70 each.
Will test them out at the weekend.

Any ideas on where might give the best bulk buy price?

€5.70 each, haven't asked about bulk buy discount yet.
Don't require dimming for these, just standard wall switches.

I get them from http://www.eurosales.ie/ call them and haggle

Good value there. You can still get Philips advice and buy them from eurosales.
I've been there before about to buy them and Philips told me about another lamp they had that was a little bit better, think it had a better warranty , it's worth a shot as it would be 100 warranties in your case. Or maybe an extra 10 percent lumens etc

And not GU10 either so I was well off.

Everything from an SD card to a 60' TV is 12.50 postage from amazon!

Got a quote off them.
They say they only have a 2 year warranty?
Seems very low for something that is supposed to have 15000hrs lifetime?

I think it's an either or. When they get to this price point they become commodities. They are very good exchanging lamps within warranty. They check the code on the lamp and add your new lamp to that existing guarantee. So although some of the 5 year warranties have failed you kind of have a lamp for 5 years might not be the same lamp though!
