Does what it says on the box
The packaging didn’t not say ‘fragile’ but once opened I could see it was well packaged in bubble wrap/ box
East to install ( says partner!).
Great value. Hope it lasts as long as the previous one.
Fitted perfectly
Not as bright as I thought would be but fitted easily.
Excelle
Wasn’t sure to order online, but was pleasantly surprised. Works perfect. Will definitely be ordering again.
Only had it for days
I realise that it’s not the bulb’s fault, but I doubt there could be a more difficult and dangerous contraption, to fit. First I had to climb steps to try and remove 3 screws. Second twist and remove the shade – this required 2 hands, meaning I had to let go of the support. Third, push the bulb into the fitting, whilst being unable to see the holes it was supposed to fit into. Fourth, reverse second and first. Doesn’t sound too difficult, but I am 76 years old.
As for the bulb, it gives reasonable light and comes with an 8 year guarantee. I do hope it lasts that long – I wouldn’t want to have change it again!!
Just the right thing for the job
It was the correct brightness for the job and easy to install
No problems here!
Item arrived through the letterbox in a bubble wrapped envelope, secure in its original packing. All good.
It lights up
I’m not sure what I can add… It lights up nicely and doesn’t flicker like our last one. I hope this brightens up your day.
Great light bulb
It’s easy to install and gives a great brightness it also lasts for uears
Durability
It takes like 3 seconds to turn on and it only lasts like 3 to 4 months
It's illuminating and brings light to where once was darkness.
The package arrived quickly which was great as the bathroom at night with out light was rather grim. Installation was very easy, in my case needing a screw driver to remove the light cover (other lights and situations may not require tools) . Removed the old, now faulty unit and inserted the newly arrived unit and there was ‘light’. Note to self always check you have the unit switched off before tampering with it. Nocturnal visits to the bathroom are now bathed in glorious light.
Item was as described no issues. Very Happy and would buy agai

Arrived quickly to replace a dud one in the bathroom. Very simple connection making it easy to replace.
Finally an ugly light for the bathroom
Not so easy to install but managed to do it however it doesn’t sit flat.
Let there be light!!!
Brilliant replacement, saved my trip out by buying online, thanks.
Just as advertised, works just fine.
Fitted it as soon as it arrived. Is the correct fit and luminosity for my bathroom.
It's a light bulb
Bulb is as described, it’s hard to find two pin bulbs , all I could find in stores were the four pin, except Screwfix or Toolstation, but still had to order in ,Price was the same and could collect from locker.
Bright and Wonderful
Arrived quickly, packaged well. Easy peasy to install and very bright.

.
brightness, easy to install and value for money.I recommend to buy.
Arrived damaged
Arrived damaged but not damaged in the post it was damaged before dispatch as no broken glass was not in the packaging. URGHHH
Put something on the floor by letter box as the delivery person will just post i
After reading all the reviews I had no choice but to order this bulb could not get one anywhere else. Was a bit worried as it was smaller then my original one but fitted okay.
Just make sure you have something soft on the floor by your letter box so the bulb has a soft landing.
Good value.
There’s no problem with product, company purchased from or being delivered earlier than expected. But the delivery person posted through letter box. Luckily the lamp did not break. Thing is if they had knocked we were in. But still 5 star as product was as advertised.
A good brand but not lasting eight years.
This light bulb for my kitchen was just under 7 at time of purchase and has a supposed shelf life of over eight thousand hours or eight years, I am still buying them even though my last one was bought just after moving into my flat less than seven years ago and died with nowhere near eight thousand hours use.
However the fit is perfect and it is the right level of light for the kitchen being bright but not overpowering and allowing full visibility which not all fluorescent lights can manage.
Not a definite recommendation but certainly better than most of its rivals, and the price is at least very good and allows me some degree of forgiveness for not lasting the full eight years.
Fast delivery
It was delivered very quickly and was packed very carefully to avoid any damage. Obviously it was used to replace bulbs that had blown. Nice and bright and easy to install. The description was spot on as to which type I actually needed.
Worth the money
It lights perfectly as it’s day time I’m so satisfied with i
Grea
First time replacing one of these lightbulbs and so wasn’t sure what pin size to get. Images made it easy to figure out this was the right bulb! Thanks
Ideal for a small (pantry) room.
It worked right away. Could have done with a brighter one but this was the only I could find from Phillips on Amazon. Delivery prompt and in an undamaged box as well.
Smaller than I thought it would be with 2 pins
I have not used the toucan bulb once I will I will give a review.
A bit different but fitable.....
I recognised that product missed some sort of clicking point on sitting position. So you might basically feel it’s loose.
But if you tighten it’s pins firmly, it eorks as well as original one.
I recommend you to buy it.
I have a love/hate relationship with these lights in my house; I feel they take longer to turn on and I hate it when the flicker, BUT they are very bright and the bulbs last much much longer than standard bulbs.
This particular bulb I found to be cheap in price and was delivered very quickly. Very easy to install (I’d not actually done this particular lights before). Had it in and working in minutes. Very bright and high quality. Will order again!
Great buy
I think this item was a good replacement for my old bulb
Good value replaceme
Exactly as ordered to replace a similar lamp that had failed after twenty-eight years!
Perfect replaceme
Perfect replacement for the one in my bathroom after long service.
Easy to install
So far no problems
Brilliant!!!!
I’ve had these twice now they last years!!!!! Like 5 years!! Brillia

It is what it is… Buy one if you need one. Make sure you get the right 2 pin or 4 pin fitting.

OK so I have one of these bulbs as a bathroom light apart from my bulb from before was bigger. This is compact. But it still fits and works. I saw how small it was compared to the old bulb and worried it wouldn’t fit. But oh my days I fi ally have a bathroom ligh

Straight forward replacement of old bulb.
Has lasted longer than original one too.
Bright ligh
I never had to buy this type of lighting before and wondered where I could get one from. Of course Amazon sold them! The light arrived on time as I was in darkness in the bathroom. It was easy to fit and I would recommend this product to everyone.
Bright enough
Not much to say. It does what is expected to do. Was easy enough to install.

Product is exactly as advertised.
The product arrived promptly, in fact faster than I expected. In good condition, it was easy to install in an external light fitting. No problems at all.
Worth i
Quick to arrive and cheap enough. Packaging could have been a little bit better to avoid damage but mine arrived ok.
Perfect for the job
Easy to replace and can tell the difference between this new bulb and the older one. Adds more brightness to the bathroom
Just the right ligh
Couldnt find in any shops, found this one for bath room, fits and works perfectly, so happy. Great price and easy to fit in.
Good produc
Perfect
I needed to replace my nans toilet light and this came quickly and was easy to install.
long lasting
Ideal light for the bath room and longer lasting. The last fluorescent tube last for three years. Excellent quality
I bought this because I thought it was a flux capacitor for my Delorian. Turns out it’s a light bulb. Won’t be time travelling any time soon. Sorry Marty.
Happy
Bought this for my elderly mother’s bathroom, she loves the product and it helps her see in the bathroom in the early hours of the morning.
Great value bulb
Great value as branded Philips light bulb; although the brightness is not as good as cold white.
Be aware, Some flashing happened occasionally(acceptable)
Will bring light to a room
Before buying this bulb, my bathroom was pitch black, which made it very difficult to navigate. So I bought this bulb and inserted it into my bathroom light. Now, all I need to do is switch on the bathroom light, and I can see inside the bathroom, and navigate with ease.
Replacing a like for like
What can you say about a bulb, was easy to fit swapping out with the old one so knew what I would be getting. Gives off the ‘warm’ yellow type of light, would have prefered a much crisper white but was in a rush so had to purchase this one which does the job just as well as the old one which lasted for five years.
I see no ships, turn the light on....
Great items, I have 3 or 4 of these lights that are always going down, it’s an old building and I’m sure there are power surges. Anyway came on time and all in good solid packaging so brilliant all round.
Great item for the money but doesn't last anywhere near the stated time
Brought 2 from same seller first one lasted a year and 2nd lasted 8 months (doesn’t stay on just flickers) not used often as its fitted in the bathroom definitely doesn’t last anywhere near how long stated will try another seller and see for the money you can’t moan but maybe if i spend slightly more i will save in a long ru
Easy to install
Great product, haven’t needed to change for a few years. Very easy to install and when I need to will purchase again.
