I have not found any lower wattage lights that do a decent job. So I stick with the 60W bulbs but I installed a dimmer with a dedicated outlet for the lights. It is great because mose of the time we just want some soft light so you dont trip over every darn thing around the patio. But when I am eating under the awning or grilling a little extra light power is great to have. Once that is all done, dim it back down and when heading indoors for the night I leave them so low its just enough to see if I have to take the dogs out later in the evening but nowhere near as bright as just my porche light.
