how bright does the lamp get? Is it close to a 100watt light bulb brightness output?

Hmm...I don't think it gets THAT bright. It does get pretty bright. I would say more like a 60w bulb.

I'm using it just fine in a non-dimmable sockets. It looks full to me... And I would suggest the 60W equivalent... Don't think you'll need the 100W - but of course, up to you. It's wonderful lighting either way. Enjoy!

As this is an LED fixture watts don't really tell you how bright this is. See: http://blog.nularis.com/2011/05/how-bright-is-light-bulb-lumens-vs.htmlThis light as 10,000 lumens so it is 1/10 as bright as sunlight. We call this light MEGA light because it lights up a large area and the light quailty is very good.

I believe the documents that came with the lamp said 75 watts or 1200 lumens.... It is a beautiful lamp and I am so happy with it... Class!

do not know about wattage. lamp has three settings of brightness and emits a very pleasant bright and warm light.the bulb, if there is any is built in.

It emits a VERY bright, even white light. Ignore the wattage, it really just confuses things due to the high quality of light this lamp produces. This lamp is one of my prized possessions as crazy as that sounds.

We have two of these in a 9 X 6 bathroom and they are very bright, probably equivalent to 100 watts each.The light appears to be more like 3500K rather than the claimed 3000K to me on the color spectrum. We ended up installing a LED-compatible dimmer and it worked out perfectly.

As a night reading lamp or desk lamp it is bright enough.4 watts in led light is a lot brighter then 4 watts filament bulb.

It is OK, not as bright as I would like it. I can read and do homework in the office. It seems to be about a 75 watt bulb, not a 100.

I gave this lamp as a gift so I don't have it in my home so I can't check it. The lamp I have is slightly different and it takes a 7 watt bulb and is 120 volts. I believe the actual bulb sockets are generally the same for lamps of this size so I would hazard a guess of 7 watts. Hope this helps.

Exactly how many lumens, I do not know. I would guess that it is about as bright as a 40 watt light bulb. The beam is quite focused, though, so it is great for illuminating a tabletop or other surface without illuminating the whole room. I used mine to light the dinette table in my camper and it hardly lights up the beds in the camper at all. The lighting is definitely on the cool side.

This is a very bright bulb, 250 to 300 watt equivelent. I use it in the gararge. There are two differant colors, a soft yellow light regular house lighting and daylight which is very white like store lighting. Works well for me as I only have one central light in my gararge and used to have a 200 watt bulb there which drew a lot of electricity, this only draws 50 watts and mmuch brighter. Too bright for indoors in my opinion.

It is about 9-10 inches in diameter, it is not huge, but I was extremely happy with it, throws off a good amount of light with the 100 watt bulb,

I'm actually fairly new to the CFL bulbs and I can't really answer the question but, I can say that it is very bright and my plants respond favorable to it. As I understand it uses the energy equivalent to a 60W draw but, it's output of light is like a 150 W bulb. I live in a basement apartment that doesn't get a lot of light and my plants including geraniums and begonias are still blooming since I brought them in for the winter. This is my first CFL plant light. I prefer it over the other screw in bulbs.

The statement made in the description of "20W LED as the light sourcewhile lumen output equivalent to 500 Watt halogen bulb" IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE! A 500 watt halogen bulb typically has a light output of 10,000 lumens or more. This lamp has an output of 1,600 lumens, which is, as Coy said above, about equivalent to a 100-watt halogen bulb. THIS IS A GROSS MISREPRESENTATION OF THIS PRODUCT.

According to the manufactorer, the recommended bulb wattage is 100 watts (incandescent type lightbulb.

I was wondering the same thing. They don't seem to know what they are talking about. Wikipedia says there are around 16 lumens per 1 incandescent watt. A 100 watt incandescent bulb puts out about 1,600 lumens by the Wikipedia conversion, to give people perspective. I just got a 2,000 lumen Snap-On LED Worklight, which by the Wiki conversion is equivalent to 125 watt incandescent bulb (or 30 watt compact flourescent).
