Good idea. I've also bought some 110 volt "corn cob" bulbs that were too dim
to be useful.

I got a couple "5 watt" LED lights off Ebay that draw 2 watts of electric.

I'm not buying any more led devices without a lumens quote.
I've got a 21 led lantern you cannot even read by.
OTOH I have a couple of led flashlights with single 3 watt Cree led's
with over 150 lumen output. Flashlights are good enough outside but 60
watt bulbs put out ~850 lumens.

Got to watch out for three things. Lumens, lux, color temp. Lumens is total
light output, no matter how spread out it is. A flashlight in a one foot
spot, is going to be high lux in that spot. A 100 lumens spot is much
brighter than a 60 watt led lamp, within the spot area. I never buy LEDs
unless color temp is specified.
