Anybody have any idea what percent of the electrons coming from the battery are released as photons in an LED, say maybe a Luxeon star? what about a 5mm LED?

Some laboratory stuff has approached 25% quantum efficiency, but to my knowledge, not much higher than that. I'm not sure of how current production LEDs do.
