Do LED lights that have 4 smaller LED actually shine bright?
I wonder if these 4 lights shine brighter than single LED.

You need to be more specific. Are you comparing 4 of the same LED against 1 of the same LED? Like 4 Cree's, vs 1 Cree?

If they all have the same LM rating than yes. 4-240 LM leds in a light would be brighter than one with a single 240LM led you will lose throw with multiable leds

Is 4 LEDs brighter then 1 LED. If the same brand, model, and bin, that will depend on the total power to the LED.
Presuming that same over all power, for example, 1 watt to 1 LED and a total of 1 watt to 4 LEDs(.25 watt to each LED), the 4 LEDs will be brighter since LEDs get more efficient as their drive current goes down.

Did you take that picture? If so, would you give me permission to use it in my review of the NDI (hoping I get it before next christmas)? It'll save me from doing a macro shot myself...
