Anyone have any thoughts on this.

One LED - the Kingbright type - will only give about 0.25 watts tops

What does that mean? The same as a .25w bulb? draws .25W? a 100W bulb
only 'gives' about a watt of light...

LEDS at 10% eff at - say 250mW input are then 25mW output..so 40
LEDS=100W light bulb?



(if my calculator is true). To get some good light, you would need a
few hundred LEDs, in clusters. Remembering that they are quite
efficient, albeit directional - so ambient light will have to be
sacrificed.
