2500'ish lumens from 24W vs 4000'ish lumens from 58W but probably the
LEDs shine down where you want the light, so useful lumens per watt
better than on paper?


Lumens at final floor level is what counts.


Useful though that is, I'd say lumens at the work surfaces are the more
important, especially in a kitchen where those surfaces are even further
off-axis from a downwards directed light source than the extent of the
floor.
