Anything other than LEDs?
There are low voltage fluorescents.
You haven't given enough info for any detailed reply.
LEDs you are likely to find used in most lighting are
similar efficiency to filament lamps.
Actually they are about ten times as efficient..
Nope.
Take a 500W halogen floodlight - it produces around 10000 lumens, or
20lm/W.
I'll pay you a hundred pounds for a one watt LED (to be delivered in a
couple of weeks max) that outputs 200lm.
The 'state of the art' with dodgy assumptions is around 50lm/W.
And Ill pay YOU a couple of hundred for a domestic lamp that isn't as
fragile as ****, that can reach ANYTHING LIKE those sorts of power
conversions.
You might as well tell me that arc lamps are actually 'incandecsnt' and
use those as a starting point.
