Default Thought on LEDs for ceiling light

I made the decision and ripped out the 4 x halogens in the ceiling

standard fittings, no transformers and an easy change bulb.

My current thoughts are a central ceiling light with 3 or 4 LED lamps.
Thinking to go for 5 watt each. Anyone got experience re light levels
etc with this? Warm or daylight. it will need to be bright.

I want either bayonet BC22 although light fittings a bit scarce.
Or screw E27, Mainly because they may be around long enough to save me
changing fittings at a later date. Any issues with E27 or BC22 I am
trying to get some uniformity throughout the house as currently I have
thin screw type/wide screw type, Gu10 / MR16 and standard bayonet.

Any thoughts on the above as this is my first move to LEDs.


What were the halogens you ripped out? If they were GU10s I would have
left the fittings & swapped the lamps for good warm white LEDs
