Yep very bright. I have three in the fan in my bedroom. These could actually pass off as 60W replacements IMO. They're very directional like a floodlight though and don't light the ceiling much.
@ Aarom; true, but it doesn't light my posters on the top half of the wall that great either. It's also extrememly bright to look at when laying in bed. No big deal though since I usually shut off the light before going to sleep.
@ Joe; the lumens appear way off. A 60W lamp is about 750-850 lumens and this is rated at 450 lumens but seems as bright as a 60W lamp. What I was afraid of when i bought these was that the output would crash way down after a few months but nope! They look about as bright as they did when i first installed them. I'll ask for a HD giftcard at Christmas and I'll try out the Philips LEDs.
