70,000 lumens at 495 watts 4000K Got my attention. Looks like that one is 220 volt. The 110V is only 35,000 lumens at 273 watts. I see the number 28 lbs, probably for the 120volt , not the 220V. No idea of the price, yet.

This getting interesting*, depending on price (and still a heavy, 28lb slug of metal), naturally. The Magnetic Ballasted 400 watt Metal Halide light (40,000 lumen range) (and the 320W CMH) just became much harder to justify.

*I, who use a 130,000, even near 200,000 lumens 1600W MH per room, on one circuit breaker, for painting (I reject, then scoff at, less than 80,000 lumens), have been unimpressed with output objectives of the high power led lights (10-30K lumens, plus exaggeration) before this; it looks like they have truly made something that can rival the output, and beat the lamp level efficiency of my (electronic ballasted) 1000Watt Metal Halide Lumen (130LPW) with 140 LPW per watt, without the BS about directionality to excuse reduce lamp output--1. My winged MH grow light reflector has as much lux per lumen as my 100/200/500watt led. Though, probably not true for most MH reflectors. 2. Outside, directionality matters more, not indoors as much since a good light will light up the entire room-taking advantage of photon bounce off walls for better overal lighting without dark areas in the room. Also this is yet, too heavy and too dim at the 120volt flavor, to replace my portable Tota Stand light system-electronic ballasted Metal Halide (1000 watt and 600 watt, both over 80,000 lumens).
