Hi Michael,
Thank you for your feedback! The globes you purchased are carbon filament globes, which are designed to provide a softer, more ambient light, reminiscent of olden days' lighting. They're intended to create a warm, mood-setting effect rather than bright illumination.
When purchasing globes, it's always a good idea to check the lumens value, as this indicates the brightness of the bulb.
Feel free to return for exchange.
