The light bulb boasts a 25,000 hour rated lifetime and level of efficiency that is leagues ahead of the incandescent light bulbs that came before it (in some cases reducing lighting bills by up to 90%) - all in a package that looks just as good, if not better, than those it is intended to replace.This Golfball is a newer product from Philips and supercedes their old Golfball part codes: 8718696453605.Please visit the manufacturer\'s website for up-to-date dimmer switch compatibility lists for this Philips LED Golfball light bulb before purchase.To find the answers to some common questions about LED dimming, please read our guide Dimming for Dummies.Need more help in choosing a suitable light bulb?
