I bought these a few weeks back when they first dropped to this price at Ikea Wembley. Promptly returned them as they make a electronic buzzing noise. Fine I guess for wall/ceiling light but I purchased them for bedside light and the buzz was too apparent.

200 Lumen is really dark.

Depend on your use though.

I've got three in a floor lamp in front room and no buzz for me. Perhaps you were unlucky, or perhaps I was lucky!

I bought these at the weekend and they don't make any noise, look perfect in my lamp

Anyone know what equivalent wattage would be please?

200 lumens is off the chart! I'd guess at about 15/20W incandescent, if that. I doubt fluorescents go this low. Looks like old technology inside these and unless you know how little 200 lumens actually are, it could lead to disappointment imv. These are 3W, implying 65 lumens/W. The best leds are now around 300 lumens/W.

No wonder they're cheap

Have a look on CPC, I've always bought LED bulbs of them.

less than that. Should be only around 15w.

25w will be brighter than 200 lumens .

Were available in Edinburgh middle of last week. Wish we'd bought more. Got 14 chandeliers in the house :confused:

Is this cool white or warm white ?
