It's amazing but it goes to show that lumens and kelvins go hand-in-hand when you need a light bulb. You can't just rely on what the watts or the lumens says on the box.

Thank you Gardenman. That was exactly my question. I can use a 100 watt equivalent LED in a specified 60 watt fixture without a problem. Perfect.

Instead of looking at the Kelvins you can also look and see if it's a "daylight" or "soft white" led bulb - daylight are the brighter of the two.

@geegerbee ............I too am confused with the new LED lighting. When I need a bulb I take the dead one to the hardware and ask an employee what I need or I want another like it. It works for me.
