Default Can and LED floodlight possibly be as bright as a real floodlight?

Short answer, absolutely.



Long answer, make sure you look at the lumen output and beam angle specs for the specific light you are considering using, compared/contrasted to those for the conventional (100W, 200W, etc.) incandescent that you would otherwise use for that location. Do NOT trust the "wattage equivalent" verbiage on the packaging; pretty much all manufacturers of LED lighting fudge those a little bit, especially with screw in A19 and other similar formats commonly used as household lighting.
