"Osram has developed a small light-emitting diode spotlight that achieves an output of more than 1,000 lumens for the first time. That?s brighter than a 50-watt halogen lamp, thereby making the device suitable for a broad range of general lighting applications."
75 lumens per watt is kinda pathetic low end for the latest LED's.
See the free LED JOURNAL.
The most I've heard of is 130, but are they being sold or are they experimental?
Given that I'm sure the Osram designs red the LED Journal, I wouldn't be surprised if theirs isn't that horribly efficient based on attempting to build a commercial viable product with a decent life rather than just some lab sample that's characterized during 5 minutes of burn-in?
