Default LED v CFL bulbs

It's interesting to use one in a common situation - say a central
pendant fitting in a white or light coloured room, and compare the
ambient light between them. My guess is they have a very special
tungsten 100w they used for comparison.


I have found that these:

Seem to compare well to a 60W GLS - similar pattern of light production,
colour temperature, and brightness. CRI is not far off.


Note tried this, but:

Claims 1440 lumens which is in the ball park for a 100W (perhaps closer
to a 90W)


This is really the point. It's a long time since most would have been
happy with a single 60w tungsten lighting a room. 100w far more likely. So
would be nice to have a true like for like replacement.
