What is the maximum wattage (equivalent) currently on the market? Am
currently 'all-incandescent' and use mostly 100 & 150 watt bulbs.

Are current LEDs living up to their price vs. longevity value? Forgetting
energy savings, are they worth the money being charged?

So far, I"m getting the equivalent of 75w incandescent light out of
one 8.5W LED lamp.

Color temperature is 3000k, vs 2800K for CFL's installed.

Only a bit of time will verify that the longevity expectations are
being met.

White LED's are well known to fade over time, if pressed. Time and Time.

As for high output....there is an A19, 2700K white with a draw of 10.2
W, with a rated equivalent of 100W.

In other formats, an R40 18W 3000K with an equivalent output of 120W

And a PAR 38, 23W 3000K, 150W equivalent.


These are all rated at 50,000 hours.

Not bad if it makes half that number.
