Based on your lumens figures, it would be like replacing all your 100W bulbs with 50W ones. Definitely dimming the total light! Very hard to read by...
I still haven't done the switch to LED because the last time I shopped around, 100W LEDs were about $20 apiece. I did find some 3000K 100W CFLs that give off a great hue and are bright enough, but they turn on at about half brightness, then take 2 minutes to reach full brightness. Bill |

This is interesting, we've switched to LED's almost 100%, and found them to be significantly brighter than similar output cfl's. Not to mention the lack of warm up time to reach full brightness. Most are standard soft white, a few are daylight. Two 60w equivalent daylight bulbs in the front porch lights illuminates the front yard very well, where two 60w equivalent CFLs didn't. We got most of ours from Walmart, they have some sort of deal going with consumers (power company) and offer 4 packs for $1.97 each, we bought several boxes and all seem to be working great! So far we love them and won't be looking back. I even installed a 60w equivalent daylight bulb in the refrigerator, nice and bright! We went from 100w (23 actual watts) CFLs in the living room lamps to 60w (8.5 actual watts) LEDs and they seem to provide the same light.
