G9 LED

We have a central ceiling light fitting with 5 x G9 lampholders.
I have had 40watt halogen G9s in but want to change to LED.
The first set (5watt)I got didn't like the dimmer so I bought a Trailing
Edge Dimmer. I decided they were not bright enough so I bought some more
that claim to have higher lumens. Now wife is saying the room looks dull.
Are Lumens to be believed? About to swop the 8 watt ones for a third set.
Any suggestions?
The Halogens claimed to be 460 Lumens.
The 8 watt LEDs claim 550 Lumens.
I am considering some that claim to be 720 lumens. Is it to be believed?
IME a 5W LED is more than sufficient as a replacement for a 40W incandescent
I had 40W bulbs in my bedside lamps and replaced them with 5E LEDs, and it
was far too bright
I had to swap them out for CFLs
