I know little about these LED things and lumens or whatever they are called.
We went out today looking for some 60Watt bayonet cap fitting light bulbs
and could not find any. The stuff on the shelves confused the hell out of
me.
Yeah, I knew that the good bulbs are being discontinued.
Can anybody tell me what wattage on the new stuff is equal to 60 Watts on
the old stuff?
All I'm looking for is just a light bulb that chucks out as much light as 60
Watt.

Thanks

You want "warm white" and 10 or 12W to match a 60W filament bulb.
Philips or Samsung are robust choice is then dimable or not.
(not dimable are cheaper)

Beware of being caught out by CFL "60W" being dim as hell whereas LED
bulbs pretty much do match their claimed incandescent equivalent.

They are cheaper on Amazon or specialist online retailer for the same
branded kit than in most highstreet shops.

Top notch and thanks for that.
Pardon my stupidity in asking, would "warm white" 10 or 12W be LED or

It can be either.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

Well you get warm white in both cfl and led, but they do look different. One
other thing to think about is the light distribution. LEDs attain a wide
light dispersion by having many leds facing different ways, but CFLs are
just tubes so can spread the light in all directions.

Having said that about CFls. there do seem to be some around now that come
on bright straight away. I still feel from what people say that the actual
perceived colour is a bit wrong, slightly yellow, but nonetheless a lot
better than the free cfls given away a few years back.
Led to most people seem to be rather on the blue side of warm.
My feeling being only able to perceive light is that both cfl and led tend
to give me a bit of a thick head compared to the old tungsten bulbs. Whether
its the colour or the flicker or something missing in the spectrum its hard
to say, as I cannot actually see colour any more and ordinary bulbs are
apparently red biased in any case.

Very few of these types of light give a continuous spectrum. So although
they may look a similar colour, the way various colours show when lit by
them is likely quite different. Decent tungsten does give a pretty even
spectrum.

With both CFL and LED, you can 'dope' them to give a better spectrum. But
as well as costing more, it tends to reduce the efficiency.

Of course none of this much matters if it's just lighting a hallway. But
may well when preparing food and for arts and crafts etc, as well as for
general relaxation. In the evenings, we are used to domestic lighting
being an extension of late evening daylight. Making it very blue -
suggesting noon daylight - may not be ideal for some.

Think in terms of lumen and not "wattage equivalent". The best LEDs
are around 100 lumens/watt now, and seem to be getting better.

240v 60w incandescent is about 710 lumens (watch out for online
references that quote lumen ratings for US 110v incancescent as they
are generally higher).

You can get 5 x bayonet cap LAP GLS LED Warm White for a tenner at
screwfix:

http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-gls-le...ack-of-5/2330j

At 810 lumen, they're actually a bit brighter than a 60w incandescent.

I have bought LED replacements for a strip of spotlights in the kitchen,
reducing the power from 50watts each to 5 watts each. They are also much
brighter having chosen 'daylight'

The six bayonet 75watt equivalent LED bulbs I bought for room lights were
slightly disappointing, although only consuming 12 watts each, they have a
perceptible flicker. Probably designed for 60hz system, but had adapted the
base to bayonet.

The kitchen is a bit smaller but, for distribution, has 3-off 2-lamp

considered under-cabinet strips but they're unecessary as there's very

They certainly ain't brighter than 50w tungsten. Or rather, they actually
produce less light on the objects they're lighting. But may well look
brighter if you look at the light itself.

That's not what I found. I've installed daylight equivalents to the
whole house, they definitely seem brighter and a nicer type of light.

I know little about these LED things and lumens or whatever they are

We went out today looking for some 60Watt bayonet cap fitting light
bulbs and could not find any. The stuff on the shelves confused the
hell out of me.
Yeah, I knew that the good bulbs are being discontinued.
Can anybody tell me what wattage on the new stuff is equal to 60
Watts on the old stuff?


All I'm looking for is just a light bulb that chucks out as much
light as 60 Watt.

Then you may be looking for the wrong thing!

Beam angle is important when buying LEDs.

Your lamp shades and light fittings make a difference when buying LED
replacements if you do care about your lighting.

I've been sorted out by the hallowed members of this group.
But thank you for your input.

I would imagine to illuminate those pikey ornamental butterflies in his
garden.

I have two very nice gardens.
How many gardens do you have in your tower block?

No, I'll go to Screwfix as Caecilius advised.
Seems that our resident spark could not advise me where to go.
Your not very intelligent Adam and you will always be an electrician living

*waves hand*

I've bought the Poundland candle and small globe LED bulbs recently and
have been very impressed with the spread and quality of the light. You
genuinely cannot tell them from an incandescent.

The LED GU10s weren't as impressive - the colour is 4000k, which is
fairly cold, and the light beam, being LED, is quite narrow and
directional. If you're expecting them to look the same as halogens,
you'll be disappointed. However, I bought ten for a friend to replace
halogens in one room and he's pleased with how they look. The LED lamps
have a metal decal on the face which matches his chrome recessed
fittings so they look really smart, and the colder light and more
directed beam suit that particular room very well. So it works *for
him*.

The GU10 LEDs are 2.6W, so he's replaced 500W of halogen with 26W of LED
- about half the cost of running ONE halogen lamp.

We'll see how long they last for a quid, but I'm going to be buying a
few more of the candle and globe ones to replace bulbs in my place. Not
all of them - they're not a universal panacea.
