Does this bulb provide enough light (550 lumens) to replace a 60 watt (800 lumens) incandescent bulb in an outdoor post light?

It's the brightest led bulb with this base (candelabra) I've ever found. I replaced 5 60 watt incandescents with these in my dining room fixture and the output seems brighter. Be aware that these bulbs are slightly longer than traditional candelabra base bulbs.

It's ROUGHLY equivalent, perhaps slightly less bright but probably perfectly adequate. (Disclaimer: the bulbs didn't work in my dimmer-controlled dining room chandelier, and I sent them back. It's been nearly a year since I tried them. So I'm probably not the right guy to ask.)

I have a three lamp fixture that looks like a 75-100 watt incandescent. So to be honest, your 60 watt example would need two of these bulbs. They are also candelabra based (minny) designed for a chandelier or a similar styled lamp.

I am very happy with the light output from this bulb. I have a total of six of these bulbs in two lamps.

This bulb provide little less light to replace 60W incandescent bulb, but I am comfortable with it's light.

They will replace a 65 watt bulb. But, the brightness is equivalent to a 120 Watt incandescent bulb.

Hmm...I don't think it gets THAT bright. It does get pretty bright. I would say more like a 60w bulb.

I don't see why not since it's just a standard light socket. But I would still use one of those energy saving bulbs that has the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt incandescent bulb. For example, I'm using a 20 watt LUMAcoil bulb which is equivalent to a 75watt incandescent bulb.

The Cree bulbs at Home Depot are *outstanding* and they throw around 450 lumens. They have 60w A19 equivalents too that throw a lot more than that.

Not 400 W incandescent! However, an LED or CFL bulb with an *equivalent luminance of 400W* is probably OK.

Not sure, I currently am using a 60 watt bulb for my outdoor front porch fixture that is enclosed and under cover. Also in a lamp in an interior room in the house. Works great with a regular light bulbs of 60 watt.

A 100 watt incandescent bulb puts out about 1600 lumens. This light is rated at 1400 lumens. It appears brighter in my opinion due to the way the LEDs are spread out. Appears to light a larger area more uniformly.

Yes at your local electric store. For $5 I replaced the "socket"then inserted LED bulbs. These use 4-6 watts instead of 50 and are equally bright

I'm no bulb expert but, I would assume a 75 watt outdoor bulb would be good. Ask someone at your local hardware store. I'm sure you can find one for under $10.

Yes. It comes with 2 bulbs and either will be sufficient. It might be too much light.

As i recall, cfls at 24w generate 1500 lumens. So 60watts should be around 3500-4000@1ft.

60 watts if incandescent but with energy efficient bulbs can yield more equivalent lumens with less heat

I believe you will be fine as long as you don't exceed the rated total wattage. I run up to a 60w bulb at times with no issues at all.

This bulb is a direct replacement for an incandescent version and the color is very comparable. I have not used outside but would imagine it would work just fine as long as it is in an enclosure as all the LEDs are Surface Mount Technology. So using the same enclosure of the original lighting would be fine...and there is no heat from these replacements as in a normal high output bulb. Hope this answers the question.

I am using the same bulb in my outdoor lights and have no issues. That being said i don't remember the box markings but worst case scenario is it just won't work if it actually needs 85 - 265v and you put it in a 12v system.

I believe this bulb can be safely used in a 150 W fixture. Look for the watts used on the base of the bulb. The writing on the base of my bulb says that is actually draws 60 W which is only 40% of the rating for you fixture.
