Advertise 60W. Part number BC40F10 means it is a 40W; I'm not sure about the part number (390294 could be a 60W bulb - discontinued?). It could be argued that it is equivalent to a 60W standard incandescent in terms of luminescence. But it is also billed as a Halogena bulb, and therefore it already has better luminescence. So if you order it thinking you will get a 60W Halogena bulb, you will be disappointed. I think this is deceptive in that you have to know Philips model numbers in order to avoid the trap (if indeed it is one). At a minimum it is ambiguous.

I have a nice dimmable modern frosted glass lamp that only takes 60 watt candelabra bulbs. I searched and these are one of the few options available other than basic candelabra bulbs, which don't even provide their lumens. These are less expensive than the Bulbrite style options depending on shipping. Note that the correct 60W part number is BC60F10 1/2 C/HAL/CL.

I was at first concerned if these were indeed 60 watt (for real) halogena bulbs or 40 watts as one comment here suggested they maybe. Indeed the descriptions part number is not for the same product described. However after receipt I realized it is indeed the 60 watt one and thats what I wanted and cant find anywhere else. They arrived in good order and on time. Thanks. Now lets hope they don't run out of supply cause this is a discontinued product. So if you want em this is your last chance. Thanks for having the last 60 watt halogena bulbs on earth.

This product is good. Also the seller was good when I had to obtain a replacment bulb due to it arrived broken.
