Re: Lightbulb help.

The figure of merit for any lightbulb, irrespective of technology, is the Lumen. As a guide a standard 100W filament bulb emits about 1600 Lumens. This is the total light output of the bulb.

Scale as appropriate and select your LED bulb accordingly.

I've had some really good bulbs from Lidl under the Livarno Lux brand. The Narrow beam GU10 dimmable reflector ones are rated at 5W but are a perfect replacement in colour, brightness and beam for 50W halogens. These have 3 LEDs with colimating lenses in front.
