First I'd like to admit I am a total noob at electrical applications, wiring, and lighting information.
I searched for this, but it seems to be too generic of a title to get a good result or what it did bring up was several years old.

Put simply: I want to make some low energy light bulb replacements.
I am in hope of finding a way to do this and keep the light fixture near flat to the ceiling as I'd like to be able to put some in an RV Van Conversion as well, which makes things like the Ecosmart not work for that use.

I saw a comment on XM-L LED's and found this page: http://www.cree.com/products/xlamp_xml.asp
Going by what that page says I'll be able to make a lamp that is 10W for 1,000 lumes, correct?
And that is just slightly brighter then a standard 60W incandescent bulb at around 840 lumes?
(3.35v, 3000mA)
I am not concerned with keeping the LEDs in one place as I think spreading them out across a rooms ceiling would help improve the overall lighting which would require fewer lumes to reach the same amount of space (correct?)
Going off another post I saw the XP-G LED: http://www.cree.com/products/xlamp_xpg.asp
By this page these are roughly 5.36W for 493 lumes? (3.3V, 1500mA)
So putting two of these in a room would be a bit better then one 60w incandescent bulb, or using four (with one in each corner) would be roughly two 60W incandescent bulbs?
What kind of battery will run four of these?
Judging by how these are worded per watt, does this mean I can use a slider switch to adjust the brightness of the LEDs?
Thanks for any help that can be provided: I love modern technology, I just wish I understood it better!
