    I think they started marketing them in “equivalent wattage”

    I got this one crazy 10k or something lumen bulb a few years back - I set it up in the corner of my room. There were no shadows. Just total darkness to high noon at the equator. I wired it up as part of an alarm clock.

    Instead of little squares of LEDs, it was strips of them facing out in a twisty bulb. I want to say it was something like 15 watts

    An enclosed bulb with basically no heat sink and no chill is probably not a great design, it didn’t last long. It was cool though
