Only rated at 360 Lumens but I assume this will be fairly directional, they are intended for above the stairs and landing so will need fairly decent downward light output. I have been using 20W daylight stick CFLs in reflector shades for the past few years, very high quality lamps but these are now failing and I doubt the cheaper stick ones will last as long or keep their lumen output the way these have (the remaining one still appears brighter than the 100W GLS I put in the other fitting). Originally I used 60 or 100W reflector bulbs.

Cheers

It would be weak, if you are used to 1200lm...

That's what I thought to be honest. I was trying to find the specs for my old lamps when I posted but no luck. I will see what else is out there thanks

I thought of using socket adapters but this would work out rather expensive with 2 lamps per fitting!

And if I looked to the pages, the seller is everything, but trustworthy: 430lm qualify for barely "40W" equivalent, but they claim "60W"...

For many places even the reduced light output would be very well sufficient

I would be concerned with lamp quality / life rather than lght output for an application where you dont need much anyway. If you know that this LED is good quality, or if it is cheap enough to try out anyway, go for it
