145 Typical lumens from 700mA @ 3.6V, or 58 lumens per watt. The LED is
a surface mount chip 3.1 x 4.6 x 2.1 millimeters in size. A thin strip
of 12 of these chips puts out light comparable to a 100W tungsten lamp
but only uses 30W.


The colour temperature won't be anywhere near comparable.

In any case don't 'white leds' use the same phosphor method of producing light
that CFLs do ?
