Lumen equivalents of halogen floods v Led

hertzal123
I am trying to find a replacement for 300W halogen floods.A search online gives halogen 300w as 5000/6000Lm.Looking at a Luceco  led flood in electrifix

catalogue,it claims 22W is equivalent to 300W halogen,but they only give 1800 Lm,so how can they be as bright as the 300W halogen?

Thanks for any help.

                                    Regards,

                                                Hz.

    Thanks for all the replies,I may go with the 40W or 50W leds.

                                                                                    Regards,Hz


    Just noticed the Luceco 38W led flood has a power factor of 0.5,so not as cheap to run as they appear.

                                                                                                                                                 Hz




    Poor PF usually won't make much difference to running costs as normal metering records kWh rather than kVAh (except perhaps for some industrial situations where there might be a penalty for poor PF).
