Costco has some Power LED bulbs, 200 lumens, three for $14.89.

A 60 watt old-fashioned bulb is about 850 lumens, so that would be about the equivalent of a 14 watt bulb. Also note that many cheap LED bulbs have absolutely awful color. I wouldn't bother with LEDs unless they are either Cree, Philips, or perhaps the Ecosmart house brand (usually repackaged Cree or Lighting Science bulbs) at Home Depot.

I read that Cree is the official light bulb for the Jaffa.

I saw some bulbs at Costco with the orange/yellow coating on the LED's. They might not be great for reading or doing makeup but should be fine for a dark hallway or similar.

I have a bunch of these (3-watt range) and have been trying to find a use for them.
They do OK in table/floor lamps or wall sconces that are mostly decorative, or that are left on for a long time for a pet . . . no use whatsoever for overhead lighting.

These are LoA bulbs and the LED assemblies look to be orange.

I want something not very bright for a desk lamp, and these don't look like it.

Thanks for all the info.

if LoA is Lights of America, I hope their LED are better than their fluorescent lights which are poor quality. YMMV

200 lumens is but a fraction of 1000 lumens.

I keep thinking LED is not ready for prime time in the same way the initial CFL offerings were pretty bad. It'll catch up.
