How much lux would you get from a standard lamp, I tried to find out on Internet, but each web site has it's own figure first I saw 170 then 1740 then another said 10,000 give me a break.
Or to put it another way if you ran a 1 Watt LED (about $20) as a night light how cost effective would it be?
And Just interest to know what kind if Watt LED would you need to replace a standard 100 W lamp in a typical home room? not that I want too, just thought it might interesting to see comments on it

He often talks/responds to emails about LED's, LED torches etc (also batteries, magnets, audio rip offs, and other real geeky stuff)
Hey it's an Aus site, you lurking in here Dan ?
Anyway, sounds like a good idea for a low powered kids night light. How about buying a cheap set of led Xmas lights and chopping them down until you have the right amount of light ? Maybe you could put them in some sort of light diffuser like a frosted globe mmmm, I might try that myself.
