How bright these are compared to regular light bulbs, please? I want to install them under my pergola beams (24' x 10'), presently have 5 x 100watts

these led lights are plenty bright. it'll take the place of your 5x100 watts without a doubt. you'll save on your electric bill plus it's a lot cooler.

Quite bright if you look directly at the bulbs. We hosted an engagement party and ran one string along a retaining wall while running the other two suspended from branches around our pond. We previously had standard incandescent twinkle lights around the tree-lined pond, but the darned squirrels would quickly ruin them by chewing through the wires. So far, these tube-encased LED lights have escaped the toothy damages & we've had them on every night for the past several weeks. Having now said that, I fully expect a squirrel rampage!

We installed them under a covered porch that is 50ft x 14ft and they look great. They provide plenty of light. Hope this helps!!

They are very bright, more so than the ones I replaced - I don't know how to describe as I use them as indirect light above on a wrap around porch on a Cape Cod style porch, and it's all the light you need.

No where near as bright. But much more asthetic. Suggest you go to home box store and review similar.

I can honestly say they are brighter than the standard bulb. I compared them both at installation time and the difference was tremendous. As for the warranty I had dealt with this company before with other lights and they are very very fast in replacing parts. Very friendly as well. I highly recommend them.

In full sun they will stay lit all night. They are not terribly bright- maybe a 3-4 ft circle of light. The equivalent of a 25 watt bulb?

They are 25 watt and it has a high-low setting. 25 watts doesn't sound like much but your face is so close it is more than enough, more wattage would be too bright. Amazon sells replacement bulbs. I've had mine for almost a year, use it daily and bulb is original. It comes with one spare.

Yes, just like a "regular" bulb. They are brighter if that's important to you. It was to me.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

I am using the bulbs to replace outdoor garden halogen bulbs with LED's. However, they are pretty bright -- uplighting trees and such -- so 6 should really light up a dining room! Also, these are 12volt and may not be suitable replacements for regular MR16 bulbs unless they are low voltage.

I am using mine in a ceiling fan (the fixtures are not fully enclosed, they are the bell-shaped type that are open on one end) and they are fine. I also am using one in an open in-ceiling can fixture, for downlighting. They are great and very bright. The only annoyance I have noticed is that sometimes one of the bulbs emits a high pitched buzz. It doesn't happen all the time and I've not diagnosed the cause. Overall, I'm thrilled with these bulbs, though. They are VERY bright for 9 watts.I have had no problems with ghosting at all.

The answer to this is that they are larger than a halogen. I'm also not certain that these would be what you're looking for in this type of application either being that I don't think they would produce the type of light that would be sufficient for under cabinet lighting. If it were me I would spend the money and replace the unit with an LED under cabinet system. These lights work great for outdoor path lighting but I couldn't imagine being bright enough for anything else. I am extremely satisfied with these lights.

The bulbs pictured are as bright as any 75 watt incandescent bulbs that I had previously been using. It is hard to compare brightness by using watts because these bulbs use so much less current than the old ones. It is best to try and see the Lumens output as a direct indication of brightness. I have replaced all the most used lightbulbs in the bathroom and kitchen with LED's and they seem to be much brighter than the old ones.

Yes, these are very bright in comparison to the four-watt bulbs. Also, they last longer than the four-watt bulbs. Very much worth it.Rebecca, KC MO

You can get brighter bulbs that produce as much light as a 75 watt incandescent bulb and my favorites are the LED that boast of having natural light or a full spectrum light. They are a bit more costly but worth it as they are the brightest.

I certainly think so - I'd say they are about equivalent to a 90 watt bulb in brighteness, and produce light that is closer to daylight than incandescent... 4000K and 650 lumens. I'm using 2 in an L shaped hallway with 10' ceilings, and they are actually a bit too bright for the application.

50 watts x 16= 800. You shouldn't be using the included lights though, unless you want to climb up and change them annually and rack up electricity charges on your bill. Do what I did and get LED. The wattage I got for them was like 5 watts, but they are equivalent to 50 watts. Uses a total of 80 watts on brightest mode. Less on dim... The chandelier is amazing and people think I have spent 4 to 7k on the display. Do it right though. LED 5 Watt lights, and replace these immediately.

Standard 40 or 60 W bulbs would be fine but they need to be the shorter ones. We are using Utilitech pro LED. Clear bulb no lettering visible. Beautiful. Warm white, 25 W equivalent. Home Depot

The light output is roughly that of a 30 to 40 watt bulb so it would not be bright. That said, I bet these would work great for landscaping. I used one for the balcony light and it works wonderfully - another lights up a silk tree in the corner and the effect is very cool. Too much exposure to the weather might not be too friendly for the bulb so keep that in mind. My first bulb, btw, has lasted over a year now.

Hi... Right out of the box these lights have a nice ambiance. They're only 11watts so they're not so bright and make a perfect light for an outside sitting area. I've got a fifty foot cord of these going across two awnings of my camper. I'm thinking of getting another set up for my backyard as well. They've been great and haven't lost a single bulb in two camping seasons so far. As far as using them with a dimmer switch I would say yes since they're normal incandescent bulbs.
