The problem is that the light is much more directed, which is why the literature says that in downlight and spotlight applications it apes a 60W bulb, but in 'most other applications' it apes a 40W. I have one that I bought from our team to try in various applications around my house, and I find this to be almost exactly true.
In a standard lamp (where the bulb is upright), it's a bit dim -- the ceiling above the lamp is plenty bright, but it doesn't do that much for the room. In a light fixture where the bulb is at the ceiling and directed downward, it's great...
...and I think it's important to emphasize this distinction to customers when you're trying to sell the bulb if you want them to be happy with their purchase.
