Not ideal for

- Fixtures requiring a GU24, GU10, or other non-medium base socket

How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulb you install. This socket accepts up to a 150W incandescent A19 bulb (about 2200 lumens), which is bright enough for general outdoor area lighting. For lower light, use a 60W or 40W bulb. Lumen output is not specified by the manufacturer for the socket itself.
Light color and feel
Light color depends on the bulb. Use a warm white (2700K-3000K) incandescent or LED bulb for a cozy, traditional glow. The socket itself does not affect color temperature.
