That is to say, a 5W bulb can create 350 lumens, and a 10W bulb only 150 lumens. So while the 10W bulb has double the wattage, it is actually very dim compared to the 5W with significantly higher lumens. Just throwing it out there for potential bulb buyers, don't be fooled by the wattage, look for the lumens. So while the bulbs you linked may be bright, I wouldn't base it on the V or W alone, I'd have to see a lumens rating before buying any bulbs.

I agree, but unfortunately they rarely indicate brightness in lumens
It would have been too easy ..
Based on light descriptions we can find on websites, we can only trust voltage and reviews of our great community to judge it
I have found a new version on ebay that claims to be 32W (4x8W LED):

Did anyone buy those and can tell us more about its brightness?
