Why Can't We Deal With Shop Lifting?
News1 min ago
Hello, my bedside light is a small screw in type but not bright enough for me to read by.
I'd like the equivalent of the old 100 watt bulb.
Can anyone advise the nearest LED screw in bulb I need. Thank you.

I just looked at one on my lamps and on the inside of the shade is a label...max 40W e14. It's quite bright. I think the actual wattage of the bulb I have is 5.5 = 40w
I think the e14 refers to the screw type. They come in different sizes.
Thanks everyone,
Barry1010 it's a candle bulb.
It has a 7W in it now. That doesn't make for comfortable reading.
My eyes aren't what they used to be..I'll get them retested...I've a Diabetic Eye Screening test in a couple of weeks. I've not officially been diagnosed, yet..then due regular test.
Maybe I'll wait to sort the lighting out til they are done.
Thanks for your input everyone. Much obliged .
Rule of thumb - take the old wattage, divide by ten and buy the LED bulb just above that figure. eg, 100 watt tungsten buy the nearest LED above 10 watt, 60watt tungsten buy the nearest LED above 6 watt.
Incidentally, the wattage recommendation on lamp shades is for the heat from a tungsten bulb, not the brightness.
