Are these bright enough to use in a dining room chandelier (it's the only light in the room, there are 5 bulbs)?

I got five of these lights in my living room in a chandelier and it lights up the room just fine

These are the brightest candelabra bulbs I've found to date and they were on par with the original 50 watt bulbs that were in my fixture. They are however longer than normal size and might stick out a bit. I have these on a 5 bulb dining room fixture as well and they are very bright.

Yes. I was worried wouldn't be bright enough for living room. Replaced 4 40watt in ceiling fan. It is actually brighter.
805823
Yes. I have 3 fixture and it lights up my entry which is two story open entry.
805824
Yes. I use 3 of them to light my living room. It's a little dim, but OK. 5 should be fine.

It's not that they are less-bright, just that they give off a different temperature of light than you may be used to. I have two of these in our bedroom for our reading lights - the light is a warmer amber light, so it's very similar to candle light - excellent for night time lighting that isn't too harsh. However, if you are used to daylight lights or bright/cool white low temperature type lights, these will probably seem less bright. I highly disagree with the reviewers that say these lights don't give off enough light to see anything - it's just flat-out wrong. But if you're putting one of these lights in a huge room, you should expect about the same amount of light as a 40w bulb, but it will be a warmer, softer light and it may give the impression of it being less bright. Hope this helps!

I don't know. They are not very bright. I use it as a night light in a hall fixture.

I am using mine in a ceiling fan (the fixtures are not fully enclosed, they are the bell-shaped type that are open on one end) and they are fine. I also am using one in an open in-ceiling can fixture, for downlighting. They are great and very bright. The only annoyance I have noticed is that sometimes one of the bulbs emits a high pitched buzz. It doesn't happen all the time and I've not diagnosed the cause. Overall, I'm thrilled with these bulbs, though. They are VERY bright for 9 watts.I have had no problems with ghosting at all.

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'm sorry. I don't know. I actually ended up changing my light fixture out and put canned lights in the room. I do get frustrated when all different fixtures take different bulbs. One note about the bulbs- I felt like they went out faster than they should. The manufacturer told me that they aren't meant to be put in a room where the light is only on for short periods, such as a walk-in closet. They did send me replacement bulbs though after I complained to them.

Hi Heidi, they were too bright, too white. I wanted to replace the dull incandescent bulbs in a 'candelabra'-style light kit under a Hunter ceiling fan. I'm going to replace the fixture with a globe-type and try them again. I want the brightness, but need a warmer light.

I would say yes....these are really decent lights.Now i got some phillips that are twice the price for use in the in the kitchen and the are a little more brilliant.These replaced 40 watt incandesent bulbs in a bathroom fixture,and they are just a tic less bright but i really dont notice it.

Yes, but I switched them out with the following bulbs, "110V 7W Dimmable GU10 LED Bulb - 5000K Daylight LED Spotlight - 50W Equivalent GU10 Base - 450 Lumen 36 Degree Beam Angle for Home, Recessed, Accent, Track Lighting" from Torchstar. Not only are the purchased bulbs LED, but they use less power, and dont put off the same level of heat. Also, they put out a much whiter light, which enhances the look of the chandelier in my opinion.

The bulbs are GU10+C 50watt. They were included with chandelier. The six of them are quite bright.

Yes but they would be VERY dim. Night light replacements.Odd coincidence, because I just put in candelabra to medium base adapters in my overhead fan so I could get MORE light.

If I'm not mistaken, there were 7 lights. I used the lowest watt bulbs - 15w and it gives off a huge amount of illumination, I also have it on a dimmer. So this chandelier will give off plenty of light for a dining room. I have it in my entry way. You will love it! Oh, and its just a 120V, single phase.

Yes, these bulbs are dimmable. We use them in our dining room chandelier with a dimmer. I'm not sure about the lumen output.

I just did it and it worked fine, so yes they can be. But they are wall mounted so I.m not sure about them being the only light in the room, they can be bent a small amount to give the bulb more light but I wouldn't use it as the only light source.
