@thomasfuchs Going above 100W might be tricky, but I would highly recommend giving these a try:

Two notes: First, CRI as a metric doesn't necessarily mean too much. It's calibrated for cameras iirc so a lower CRI bulb may look better to /you/ than one with a higher CRI

Second, I don't have any personal experience with the new Ultra Definition line but have sworn by WarmGlow for ages.

@TechConnectify thanks, I will try those!

@thomasfuchs np

I have had scant issues with Philips bulbs or lighting products in general. I've never had one I didn't like the light it produced, but I have had a few premature failures. They tend to show up within the first month, though, and if they don't - it'll last years.

The only quibble I have is that the newest WarmGlow bulbs I have (the ones I hoarded) don't transition between diode sets as smoothly. It doesn't really matter much in practice beyond automated ramping looks weird.

@thomasfuchs (by that I mean, if you have a dimmer switch which "animates" the dimming sweep, there was a clear hiccup in the middle of that sweep. But for dialing in a specific brightness, it doesn't really matter. Just makes the middle range a little fiddlier in spots)

And still, the new stuff could be better. Just haven't tried it. Waaaayyyy too many light bulbs as it is!

@thomasfuchs @TechConnectify For Garage use, Home Depot has a bunch of multi-lobed LED lights with massive heatsinks on them that use 60 to 75 actual watts, and are in the 4000-6000 lumen range. A few of these claim 99 CRI, though I don't know if I believe them. (The lobes can be aimed vertically by a ~60 degree range to illuminate the garage the way you want.) I have one of the 80 CRI ones and it makes the garage quite bright.
