Gentlement (and ladies), start your engines: 1000 lumen LED

http://www.physorg.com/news93198212.html

Osram has developed a small light-emitting diode spotlight that achieves an output of more than 1,000 lumens for the first time. That's brighter than a 50-watt halogen lamp, thereby making the device suitable for a broad range of general lighting applications. The Ostar Lighting LED, which will be launched on the market this summer, can provide sufficient light for a desk from a height of two meters, for example. Its small size also enables the creation of completely new lamp shapes. Source: Siemens

Gimme one. Now. I wonder how much it will put out on 350mah?

I wonder who will be the first to manufacture a light with this LED! Darn, do we really have to wait until summer?

Wow. This is only the 55th topic on the same subject, nice!

@KDOG: It will put out a lot on 350mah, only problem is the running voltage of 18V or so. The do talk about 75 lumen/watt, which is pretty impressive. Too bad they dont state the output at that current or the lumen/watt figure at typical drive levels.

a 6-die led... not that great
