Ok. What was/is the actual Wattage of the bulbs?

Wilko bc 2000 lumen 16.3w / 120w £8
Wilko es 1521 lumen 12.2w / 100w £8


Seems to be the highest I have seem anywhere

Is the 16.3W brighter than any bulb you have ever had before?

This was my way around the problem 8 x 6 watt around 4500 lumen. it is a big room and it is a heavy lump, so held up with one of these so all pre-wired on the ground. However it is not central to room so also use cabinet lights and up lighters.

This was my way around the problem .... 8 x 6 watt ...

Depending on what one believes, that must be equivalent to something in the range 300W - 500W of incandescent. It must be a very big room

Kind Regards, John

It is a big room, why only one light in the room no idea, one would have expected at least two lights in a room that size, I know you could get larger than 100 watt, but rare, and with a 100 watt bulb in that room it reminded me of the tocH candle.

It's brighter but not significantly. Also One problem with these wilco bulbs is that are fine to the naked eye but they flicker when I am a video call on the computer. Only way to get round it was to reduce the fps on the camera.

Hi,
Often, in the webcam settings, you can find a 'powerline frequency' option and this usually defaults to 60Hz.
If you can find the setting, try adjusting it to 50Hz and see if that helps.

Correct. That's the one I changed ... not fps
