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.

Personally, I find that an overall light is better than a directional one. A
4000 lm florrie that shines all around seems better than a directional (even
180 deg+ LED). Under-cabinet lights are the exception.
