1500 Lumens at 14W, dimmable, looks quite nice. Sounds good. Where did you see the price? Can we pre-order already? I mean, July isn't far...

The article mentions you can go to there booth at Lightfair. That is co-owned by the company I work at (IES). I find it ironic that I happen to work for IES and this was mentioned here. I'll have to see if any of my co-workers that went there had a chance to check out the light.

If it's really 1700 lumens, then it's really more than 100we, no?
I've also discovered that, if using any dimming capability, that the circuitry really matters. I had some LEDWaves bulbs that didn't do well at dimming, swapped for near-equivalent Toshiba PowerCore bulbs, and wow, what a difference. I can tell that the Toshiba bulbs are really smoothing out their power draw (the dimming lags the input from the wall dimmer by about 1/5th of a second) and they sometimes overreach by going a little dim or bright sometimes as they guess where I'm trying to dim to, but I'll take it over the typical dimming failure mode (flashing).
It's exciting that LED bulbs have really come a long way in the past year. And I'm glad congress didn't pass the attempted repeal of the efficiency standards.
I have a 150we par38 above the kitchen sink - wasn't cheap - but my wife liked it a whole heck of a lot better than the 120we CFL that was there. You can't underestimate the value of no warm up time.

I agree and I'm in the market for the brightest LED I can find right now; I'm going to try the Philips 17W to replace the filament bulb in this Royal Master Sealight Floor Lamp | Classic | Restoration Hardware
Just ordered online from Home Depot as all the local stores are out of stock.

If you need seriously bright, there are high power LED floodlights.
A neighbor has a portable (solar powered) battery emergency trailer with a pole with an array of these mounted on it:
50x 80W White LED Flood Lights Outdoor Wall Downlights | eBay
He turned it on to test it one night, and the whole street looked like daytime.
