Slim siblings
Like the original SlimStyle, the BR30 version sports an unusually flat design.
One-of-a-kind design
This sets it apart from other BR30 bulbs, which are typically much bulkier.
Lightweight
The SlimStyle BR30 LED weighs just 3.5 ounces -- less than half the heft of some of its competitors.
Specs
The SlimStyle BR30 LED puts out 650 lumens from a power draw of 9.5 watts. Philips claims it'll last 25,000 hours.
Color temperature
The bulb glows at a warm, incandescent-like color temperature of 2,700 K.
Flicker
You might notice some flickering as you dim the SlimStyle, especially with older dimmer switches.
Price point
At just $13 each, the Philips SlimStyle BR30 is one of the most affordable LED floodlights on the market. You'll be able to find them for sale on Home Depot shelves later in August.
