As per the thread title.

Just after a standard size bayonet LED bulb that is nice and bright (at least 100W incandescent equivalent) but is also dimmable.

EDIT: After 2700 or 3000K

No idea what the store is like, but these must be close to the brightest:

3000k with Bayonet Cap fitting - Say they are equivalent to 100w.

Looks like they would need to be around 15W to achieve a similar brightness to a 100w incandescent (1500 lumens).

Thanks. I found one at Lighting Direct. 12.5W but claims to be 1520 lumens. Not as bright as the 105W halogen it replaced, but it’s not too bad. Main complaint is it doesn’t dim as low as the halogen.
