I can believe that, tossing over 250 W of LED light (some 2kW in old incandescents) into a 160 sq. foot room ...
P.S. In other news, this week I saw a youngster playing with a Bluetooth 4.0 controlled 9W LED lamp (replacing a 60W incandescent). Bought from Bee Wi, via a local FNAC sale, 23 euros. Not homemade, so less virtuous, but perhaps more practical ;-)
