From what I can gather, a 5watt LED is like a 40-50 watt incandescent. That seems low for an exterior light, but then again, I've never purchased exterior lighting before.

Thoughts?

Is that adequate lighting? these are going beside the front and back door, as well as on either side of a sliding glass door on a balcony.

Should I look for something brighter? All the lights will have dimmers.

These are the fixtures I am considering:

5W - Vitrine

8W - Omni (but more $$ than I was hoping to spend)

THANKS!
