Best stick with 'W' equivalent?

I don't agree there I think the sooner everybody stops trying to compare things to ye old days and power consumption of incandescent bulbs the better. If you know 800 lumens is as bright as an old 60W bulb then thats enough IMO, when shopping for light bulbs if the number is above 800, the bulb will be brighter, if it's 1600 itll be twice as bright, if it's 400 it'll be half as bright etc.

Not true, lumens are on a logarithmic scale not linear. You need 4x as high to perceive as 2x as bright.

These would seem to fit the bill:

Not cheap, but good quality products never are…

Just check the dimensions are the same as your bulbs - they should be but some LED bulbs (mainly older ones) had a nasty habit of being longer but I think that is rarer now.

Also, the lumens is equivalent to what is on your packet so it should be a match but like others, I’m confused as to why it is so low for a 60W equivalent bulb.

I would always say warm white in a living room and cool white in the kitchen/bathroom.
