Since the EU ban on old style bulbs it's been a nightmare trying to find anything as good. I have found all energy saving bulbs rubbish - first lot took ages to come on, Halogen too dim. Which said Verbatim LED was a best buy, so tried that but it made my ceiling black and was a cold blue light (giving the ambience of a mortuary) and was dim. Therefore I carried on buying the old style bulbs on Amazon, but only Maxim bulbs were bright - all the other brands were too dim and blew after a few days. Some sellers on Amazon said they were selling Maxim, but they weren't. Maxim has gone bust now because of the EU ban so very difficult to get these bulbs anywhere now.
So out of desperation I tried these Philips LED bulbs, and to my amazement they're good and as close as it's possible to get to old style bulbs. They give off a warm, orange light, which is almost identical to old style bulbs. They are black at the top of the bulb, but they don't make the ceiling black like the Verbatim LED bulbs did - some light still goes onto the ceiling (although not as much as old style bulbs). I also found that the Philips LED light was actually better in some ways than old style bulbs - the Philips LED light is clearer and so it's easier and clearer to read by than old style bulbs.
