What is Philips DimTone?

Create a natural, cozy ambiance when the light is dimmed

The functionality DimTone allows the user to vary the bulb colour temperature from 2200K (flame/extra warm white) to 2700K (warm white). More you dim the light darkens, more the colour becomes warm. It's the same effect than dimming a light bulb or a halogen spotlight.

How does the DimTone work?

If you don’t use the dimmer, your bulb has a standard colour temperature of 2700K (warm white). With the DimTone, you can gradually vary the colour until 2200K by means of dimming and thus achieve the desired atmosphere.

What is the difference between DimTone and standard dimming?

Use a dimmer with a standard LED does not have any effect on the colour temperature but only on the light intensity. Whereas with the functionality DimTone, the light intensity remains the same but the light colour becomes warmer to create a cosy, secure and relaxing home atmosphere.
