The frosted lens will help diffuse the light to more bearable levels, reduce glare on shiny surfaces like countertops and tables, and also look nice.
If your ceiling lights are too bright, swap out clear covers and globes for frosted covers to soften the light. Lamp shades are also a useful tool for cutting light brightness by redirecting the light out into the room. We carry several types of wall dimmer switches and plug-in dimmers for table lamps. If your bulbs are dimmable, then you can pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. If the light really bothers you, there are several ways that you can go about decreasing the brightness. While the light may seem very bright at first, you will adjust. Large jumps like that are noticeable and can seem very drastic. If you replace that 2700K incandescent with a 4000K, you are going to go from a yellowish light to a bright white. An LED of the same color temperature and Lumens will have a similar glow but will still be brighter. A standard incandescent is usually around 2700 Kelvin, emitting the warm light you are used to. Kelvin ranges from an orange color, around 2200 Kelvin, up to a blue color (i.e. Kelvin (color of the light) can also alter the perceived brightness. To give you an idea of the standard output, the table below shows an average Lumen count per bulb wattage: Going only by equivalent wattage can cause you to choose a light that is too bright for your intended purpose. Sometimes LEDs can be listed with a certain wattage equivalent but vary on lumen output, exceeding the average lumen count of the light source it is designed to imitate. This is why it is best to look at the Lumens when considering which bulbs to pick out. However, remember that true light output is measured in Lumens. What this means is that LEDs appear to be brighter compared to incandescent bulbs because they generate a higher amount of light that can be seen by the human eye.
Since LEDs also generate a lower amount of heat, they do not lose as much light on the infrared end. Designed to target the visible spectrum, the highest spike of LED light is in the middle. Notice the difference in delivered light. Now let’s take a look at the LED bulb in the graph above. As light approaches the end of what we can perceive, most of its energy (up to 90%) is burned off making it invisible. Its strongest light is toward the red end of the visible spectrum. By looking at the graph above, incandescent light follows a very smooth curve that gradually goes up. When a light source is operating, part of its energy is burned off as heat becoming infrared light.
