    The bulbs will certainly appear very bright if on all night. 5w or 6w should be the absolute max.

    And those light fittings are really just decorative lanterns; you need something need more like a floodlight, that will direct the light to where you need it to be.

    Thanks going to get less bright bulbs, my current ones are too bright! I was hoping for a decorative lantern and not a floodlight, wanted a gentle glow overnight.

    For a gentle glow, I would go with chrisw and get 2w LEDs.
