Finally got some real numbers on LEDs, specifically those nanocustoms PAR38 lamps, and I'm quite frankly blown away at the values
vs an AB 10000K bulb, 250W in probably a "crappy" reflector.. but still...
Look at the 12" graph since that's the one that the LED fixture is at. Now it seems that this 21 watt LED setup has a brighter hot spot than a 250W 10000K DE bulb (in that particular reflector). The only difference is that the DE bulb covers more space so there's more total energy. Granted this comparison is through air, hence why I asked about water penetration, but those values are quite surprising.
