replacement for 150W bulb
I have a couple of torchiere lamps that take 2 150W bulbs each. The bulbs are of this type:

Previously Philips used to make these bulbs and they worked really well. I had stockpiled them several years ago when my local EXPO by HomeDepot (same place that I had bought the lamp) went out of business. Now, I'm at the end of my stockpile with only one remaining. I did buy a few of the "no name" brand ones from Amazon. They worked really, really badly. I observed variance in the lighting moment to moment which was very hard to deal with.
So what are my options?
Does something like an LED bulb exist in this size/shape/eq light output?
What type of a bulb is this, and would that work?

8 år sidenHi! I just followed the link above and that bulb is discontinued. Do you have another recommendation?
I am really enjoying learning about lighting from you and David. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge here.

You don't want to know how much it retails for. :)

High power & efficiency led emitters cost significantly more and do require heat sinks to ensure optimal performance.
Unfortunately, more effort is spent on polished metal for such lamps.
As for 150W equivalent Feit bulbs, they can be obtained at ACE hardwarehttp://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=60796426&KPID=20937361&pla=pla_20937361

Most people do not notice these subtle trends in the lighting industry, but the reality is the consumer has been screwed over.

BTW, isn't this true of all industries? Look at, e.g., appliances. All need to use less water and energy. As a result all have weirdnesses. To begin with, they aren't engineered to last as long. With refrigerators, we have high pitched noises because the compressor motors needs to spin at high speeds. No more warm rinses in washing machines. Cold rinses don't remove detergent, so we run multiple cold rinse cycles. Machines don't clean clothes well with the little water they are designed to use, so we wash multiple times. It takes 3x the time to take a shower and it provides 3x the frustration and 1/3 the satisfaction of a shower of yore. Not to mention the excessive chemicals in the water for which we need a filter. I could go on for hours talking about furniture, clothing, cars, ...

8 år sidenThanks David! $43! That's a significant amount for some folks, for example seniors on a fixed budget, etc. Hopefully those prices will come down.

8 år sidenThis might be another option for you...warm color temperature, and three-way dimming. It is also available in three lumen packages up to 2200 lumens which is somewhat equivalent to a 150W incandescent. It also a great price point!

Hope that works for you!
