Reading a technical manual for three hours in the bathroom might raise concerns. How about 150W in the easy chair lamp so I can read, relax and maybe crack open a brewski? Lower lights produce shadows and make it difficult to read the fine print.

So we are about complete on turning our entire 50's house into all LED. I would say we will have $700 in on the turn over. Not cheap, probably not live long enough to see the return, but we did it anyway I would say I have returned well over 50% of the bulbs we bought due to color issues.
Right now I am waiting on my Candelabra bulbs to come in, hopefully they will fit this 50's atomic light fixture
As a final note, I bought this to go into a couch side lamp
FEIT PerformanceLED 32 Watt A23 Omni-Directional 150 Watt Replacement, A/OM2200R/LED, A/OM2200R/5K/LED | The EarthLED Store
It is huge, but it does put out the light. Works well under a lampshade. I have not noticed any ringing that some people complain about but my house is never quiet.
