Researchers at Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey, have made a discovery that brings LEDs closer to widespread adoption. They discovered that by coating blue LEDs with a layer of nanocrystals specially engineered to turn the blue light into warm white, they could produce light at efficiency of over 300 lumens of visible light per watt

Are these thing aval to anyone??
What are the average efficiencies of COLORED led's? Much more than the below numbers?
these new white led's-- up to 300 lumens of visible light per watt.
Typical white LEDs about 30 to 60 lumens of visible light per watt
CFLs which are closer to 80 lumens/watt.
Is this really 5-10 times more efficient than the average white led?
thanks, Brian
