18W consumption for an LED puts the "incandescent equivalent" at around
50W, so a "fluorescent equivalent" of 32W (same as the T8) or better is
reasonable.

Only for fairly crappy LEDs, IMHO. Of course, there are plenty of crappy
LEDs available for folks that see LED and don't pay attention to lumens,
watts, or lumens per watt. 50 incandescent, 810 lumens is the best I
find on a quick look.

My old-tech (as these things go - it's a few years old) 20W RAB LPAK
puts out ~1400 lumens from 20-22 watts (of course, it's a kinda
expensive exterior fixture.)

8.9 watt more recent and much less-expensive can-lights, 620 lumens
