Whatever.
Update. Returned the 40 dollar, 75 Watt LED. Too directional for what I was using it for. Best replaced with a MFL.
However, I have been delighted to find the Lights of America LED

14.00 at Costco, to be brighter then their claims, or let me put it this way: When I replace a higher watt bulb with them, they put out a different type of light that seems bright, and adequate.
Some of their other lights have been panned for not lasting the advertized 20K hours, so these are rated at 15k. So, they are getting 50 lumens per watt, 200 lumens.
The spot was 900 lumens, but the cost of 40 dollars for one, vs. 5.00 per bulb for these made it cost ineffective.
