Led is bright enough to use in a torch lamp. Works with my old halogen torchiere lamp despite it's size.

Bulbs are on a jasco z-wave digital dimmer and will dim to 1% without flicker. It also flickers at certain dimming levels, but it's easy to find settings that work.

It is brighter than the 300w halogen, but not disturbing. Its just as bright as the halogen but more pleasant. My room is much brighter now than before.
