Any recommendations on a very powerful led bulb for e27. Please? I need it for one room where I only have one bulb available. Thank you

PS. Not LIKE a 40w bulb this IS a 40w LED bulb.
amazon.co.uk/blu…11/
Excellent value considering £24,990 per kg.
1600 lumen is more like a 100W equivalent.
Should be good for interrogation!
You may misunderstand the application. The design of the subject item means all of its lumens are beneficially heading towards the floor so appears brighter, whereas many of the incandescent's 150Watt lumens will be heading to the ceiling and wasted.
This is a commonly overlooked concept resulting in less wasted power and first touted by Nigel Tufnel.
is that the one you bought? have a look at this one: amazon.co.uk/SAN…f_m
do you think this can do the job? amazon.co.uk/gp/…c=1
It has enough lumens to satisfy Nigel, but Nigel would probably prefer same lumens and colour temperature but around a third of the cost:
amazon.co.uk/dul…B3/
Might even find cheaper with a tailored search.
You haven't indicated your preferred colour temperature, hence the earlier posted suggestion of multi-colour (+ remote) to cover all colour temperature preferences.
oh sorry! I thought I mentioned it. I want cool white as it is one for the bathroom another one for working from home! Thanks
If this is for the bathroom then is it an enclosed fitting? LEDs dislike getting hot so the most powerful possible bulbs are going to be expected to be well ventilated. Don't expect a particularly long lifetime if it's in a sealed fitting.
Yes, the one in the bathroom it is enclosed but I don't think it would be a massive issue... Which one would you recommend please?
Light shining on a ceiling through say a glass fitting gets scattered off the celling and walls creating softer shadows than a single directional light, which some would find desirable.
Nigel Tufnel. Woosh.
Yeah - well mine goes up to 11....
I bought these 28W (200W equivalent) from a post on here (£3!) - looks like they are still in stock!

IS that Bright Bright? Like the one I posted
Respect
Only eight hours for someone to acknowledge the Tufnel concept from earlier post hotukdeals.com/com…748
RReally don't know what u are talking about LOL
£3 (2 @ £6!) B&Q = 3452 lumen @ 4000k colour
2 for £30 Amazon = 4000 lumen @ 5000k colour
B and q doesn't deliver to my local it says out of stock... So it'll have to be Amazon 😩
Here is the 23W one which produces 3452 lumens. It says Cool White but at 4000K it's more like Natural White:
Philips Corepro LEDbulb E27 A95 23W 840 Frosted - Replaces 200W| Any-lamp
DO you recommend the one on the link then? U guys are speaking a different language LOL I'm not an expert
Lumens is a measure of brightness. Watts is a measure of power.
Lumens per watt means how much brightness you are getting for the electricity you pay for.
Colour temperature is measured in Kelvins (K): warm light (around 2700K), cool light (around 5000K) and daylight (around 6500K)
Yeah I'd personally recommend the one in the link. It's the same one I have but brighter.
sivthasan - stated it well, worth noting that cool light (~5000K) and daylight (~6500K) are best for reading and warm light (~2700K) is best for living/relaxing light. Obviously personal choice also plays a factor (I got colour changing ones for £5 from B&Q and the switch from warm to cold makes a huge difference when the kids want to do their homework - I also turn on the 28W ones to make sure they have no eye strain or excuses!)
THey charge £8 delivery... That's a shame
Actually, the standard pricing is around £15-16. The 4000K one has been priced lower accidentally, so it comes to that price with delivery. Please check the other colour temperatures linked below:

YOu are right. I may have a look at others then but I changed the kitchen and living took recently. I got three hue the first generation and they are not the brightest
Yeah the Philips Hue bulbs aren't bright. If I'm not mistaken, they are used more often for mood lighting. I can vouch for the non-'smart' CorePro bulbs though. Out of curiosity, how big is the room in which you are using the bulb?
I Would say this room is 4 meters long and 3.5 meter wife but the issue is that the bulb is not in the middle but in the corner.
Yes that is some pretty awkward placement. Even the 17.5W version is plenty for that size (depending on the room height). However in this situation you might be better off with adjustable spotlights.
I have pm u. Thank you
Not this one, it was a in a high street shop. It is VERY Bright. A bit big but VERY bright.
EXpensive but thank you I'll consider it after I get the bulbs
