Was it that the illuminated area was deemed too bright, or the
actual lamp?

Out of curiosity, what lamp was it?

Lighting Ever 10W LED 810Lumen the new one is 830Lumen. Samsung chipset.

It was too bright compared to an aging CFL they had got used to which
IMO was unsafely dim for at least 5 minutes after switching it on.
