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

Still quite mediocre. I've been building my own LED retrofits for
indoor lighting, using Cree 100 Lm/W LEDs. When you add the power
supply, you are down to 80 Lm/W or so, but that is still pretty
good, even better than good CFLs.
