I ordered these for my moms dimmable reading floor lamp. I was disappointed when the bulb would not fit with the shade on. I decided to put them in my bedroom. I like the soft glow, however, they are really dim and don’t give off much light. They would be great in a low light, relaxing atmosphere or where you can actually use a dimmable light. It does say 60 watt so maybe if I could’ve used it in a dimmable fixture, it would have been brighter.
