I tried 100 watt equivalent LED bulbs in a pair of pendant lights where I normally use 60 watt bulbs but they were blindingly bright. I wanted 100-watt semi-chrome bulbs, but dimmable ones weren't available, so I went with these 75-watt equivalents. I knew without the semi-chrome finish they wouldn't be as bright as the 75-watt models, and that's the case here. I was hoping to brighten my room, but they are about the same brightness as a standard 60 watt incandescent bulb (non-chrome, non-LED). The semi-chrome is very good, but you can balance it out by choosing a higher gauge. By the way, their white tone is very warm, but not too yellow.
