Had several CFLs burn out recently and looking to replace with LED. But most of the so-called 100 watt equivalents are more like 75W or lower. And the efficiency is not that good, most are around 100lm/W or worse.
1300lm is NOT 100W eq. A real incandescent 100W does 1620 lumens.
Previously I was able to buy two Nanoleaf 1800lm 12W 3500K bulbs a couple years ago when they were around $14 on Amazon. But it seems now they are either ridiculously priced or just not available anymore.
Looking on the Nanoleaf website it looks like they've moved on to computer-controlled RGB mood lighting. At $200 for the starter kit I can't fault them for pursuing the higher margins.
Now supposedly there are Philips 60W eq. bulbs doing over 200 lm/W but only available for Dubai 240 volt, and only <=600 lm. But I can't find anything even close available to the U.S. (reasonably priced, anyway).
Do I need to look somewhere other than the usual big-name stores and if so, where?
