.....I use these bulbs in Almost all my lights at home.....
Do they provide more lumens per watt than incandescant?
I'm outfitting a truck and need good light for reading. I have an inverter and need to have max light with least amps.
Light output is fine. Plenty of lumens to spare, but I wonder if the vibration might shorten their life span somewhat........
Not on the market yet.
Seoul Semiconductor squeezes 240 lumens into "brightest" LED
SSC's new P4 LED product emits 240 lumens at 1A
Seoul Semiconductor has plans for 135 lm/W by 2007 and 145 lm/W by Q1 2008 (Almost 10x the efficiency of incandescent)
In comparison, fluorescent manages 70 lm/W and incandescent pulls a mere 15 lm/W.

You can get them in 12V, which is a huge energy saving over 12V-120V inverter - 120V bulb.
