Philips 576496 R20 Led Light Bulb 45W Dimmable

Product Description

The PHILIPS 576496 is a dimmable R20 LED light bulb rated at 45 watts equivalent, designed for installations where color accuracy and visual comfort are priorities. Built with Philips EyeComfort technology, it produces no visible flicker or glare and carries a color rendering index (CRI) of 95, meaning colors and textures appear close to how they look under natural daylight. The bulb delivers a full-spectrum white light and dims to a warm glow consistent with traditional incandescent performance. Rated for up to 15,000 hours of operation, it is suited for residential lighting applications where long service intervals reduce maintenance calls.

This R20 bulb is intended for residential recessed fixtures, track lighting, and directional downlight applications. Its reflector form factor makes it a practical direct replacement for incandescent or halogen R20 lamps in standard medium-base sockets. The high CRI output is particularly useful in kitchens, retail display areas, and workspaces where accurate color rendering affects task quality. Dimmability is compatible with standard leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmer switches, though dimmer compatibility should be verified against the fixture and control manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is handled by a licensed electrician or qualified service technician per NEC guidelines. Always shut off power at the breaker before replacing a bulb in a recessed or track fixture. Verify that the fixture is rated for LED lamps and that any installed dimmer switch is compatible with dimmable LED loads before commissioning. Do not install in fully enclosed fixtures unless the fixture is rated for that use.
