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,

    from experience, id replace 300w with a 20w LED, 500w with a 50, 200w metal halide with 100w led 400w metal halide with 150w or 200 in some situations


    thats from trialling, and the light output is quite different so its not all about watts. LEDs give light in a closer range than halogen, so a lot of the halogen lumens arent as useful as the lumens from LED, that's why lumen per lumen they don't align.
