I have tried the eBay 48 chip models years ago and they were around half as bright as these. These little monsters are rated at 270 lumens and for the life of me, I think they really put out 270 lumens. The companies lie about supposed specs so much only real world eyeball comparison works for me.
I would rather team these up with a dimmer than play virtual Kelvin-O-Matic by mix and match. So there goes a Tijuana-Transmitter regulated lamp. Grounded Window screen glued to the inside of the dimmer cover stops any nefarious transmitter ideas of the PWM dimmer control. The dimmers are not noisy in my environment but HAM Radio operators may encounter a different reality. Barking burros and braying canines drown out all but the most pervasive audio interference. Being deaf also helps.
Each of mine is pretty much equal in brightness to a 921 bulb. About .40 to .45 amp vs 1.5 amps each bulb
