This is the brightest, nearing 600lumen, mr16/gu5.3 bulb I can find. Only recently it seems that manufacturers were struggling to
get this king of output from this bulb form. Yet my 35 dollar three year old ebay 3x Cree Ultrafire lights up the backyard with about five
times output than this bulb I recently tested...

Hooked the Philips up to 12v. It's got somewhat of a beam at 36 degrees so it's not just a wash. Turned it on the dark back yard.
Lit up the Ultrafire next to it and it was like the sun came out.
It would seem that the MR16 would be a fine form factor, with a steady 12v and lotta nice heat sinking,
to compete in brightness with a flashlight today. Even Cree's best MR16 12v falls short of the SORAA.
Why is this?
Incidentally the MR16 just happens to fit very well with a project I'm on. I just wish I could find a brighter one.
