Which 1156 LED Bulb are you using

Personally, I don't have much trust in the lumen ratings on eBay. Lumens are the total light emitted from the light bulb. The panels appear brighter than the cob (looks like a small corn cob, probably the same as you call a bullet) style lights. I like the panels for overhead lighting and the cobs for more diffused lighting, like storage spaces.

I recommend buying one or two to see if you like them before buying a whole bunch. There can be some variation between the apparently same lights made by different venders.
