For the first you're likely looking for a par38, Philips makes a good lineup, you'd want something around 2000-2500lm, and you can get them in 25 or 40 deg beam angles:

Try these Edison style bulbs for the second, maybe 4w would be enough for you. And if it's 2200-2400K, it's really really warm. Stop looking at the "equivalent" watt rating, find the lumen output of what you've tried and go lower.

So I guess you're limited to 40 deg beams with LED that bright. I thought the 75w equiv ones I bought were like 110 degrees but I could be mistaken. 40 degrees seems more like a spot light than a flood.


Also for that price, I'll probably just go with regular bulbs. I was optimistic they'd be cheaper since it seems like led bulb prices have gone down so much lately
