Much nicer than standard dimmable LEDs
Since swapping out most of the recessed canned lights in my home with standard dimmable LED's, I've come to miss the warmer, orange color that occurs when dimming a standard incandescent light. For example, when watching TV or listening to music, I much prefer a dimmer, warmer light. I've compared these new Philips warm glow PAR30s with incandescents and they are very comparable as they dim.
At the moment, I've replaced two of three lights in our 15 ft Living Room ceiling (the remaining light is an unusual incandescent enclosed eyeball that I'll change another day). All these are run on the same standard Lutron toggle dimmer and seem to do fine with that. Not super smooth dimming, but good enough. I'll soon swap out 7 in our den, which already have a Lutron LED-capable dimmer.
We prefer the shorter par30s bulbs, which sit higher in the can, to the more protruding BR30s. While the beam is more concentrated, there is far less glare and the lamp is far less visible hen walking into the room than the BR30s (8ft celing). That is, you're not looking directly at an exposed bulb with very wide beam. Note that you can still see some light reflected off the inside wall of the cans with PAR30s unless you have flat black cans.
In the attached photos, the middle light is the incandescent. The LED's may appear warmer than what is showing in the photo, perhaps because there is more of the can visible on the LED's and the middle gimble has a glass cover and it is pointed more toward the wall.

Best all around non-smart lighting option. This is the best balance of color temperature. I tried several different manufactures and ended up replacing off of them with these bulbs. Great alternative to smart bulbs when paired with a smart switch.

I had to replace a bulb that burned out in my track lighting. Found that these were only available online and was thrilled. They are much more efficient than what was being used with a much longer life. The light they give is much easier on the eyes and they respond excellently to being dimmed.

Excellent product
Philips just keeps winning with their Warm Glow line. I've been waiting for this technology to come to PAR bulbs, and it doesn't disappoint. Now let's hope Philips doesn't phase this out in favor of Hue.
