1000 Lumens should be a 60 watt equivalent. I tried to replace a single 23 watt compact florescent bulb with 2 of these alleged 1000 lumen bulbs. A 23 watt CFL bulb is considered to be approximately a 1600 lumen source. Therefore 2 1000 lumen bulbs should give off 400 lumens more light than a 23 watt CFL, even more so an OLD 23 watt CFL bulb. In this case these 2 bulbs did not even come close. Therefore I would not consider them to be 50 watt equivalents, much less 60 watt equivalents. I fully understand that the color light given off is going to be different, I am not addressing color differences, which there are. Rather, I am speaking strictly intensity. I consider these to be 25 or perhaps at best 40 watt equivalents, and I have no idea how they are rating these as 1000 lumen bulbs.

The LED's in this light are very bright, it's hard to look at directly, (leaves camera flash dots in your eyes) it gives off a cool blue light about the same color as a 175 watt Mercury Vapor yard light. it's a little more blue than the cool white circle lights used in kitchens, or workshops through the years.
