I saw a press release from a company called NanoLeaf that is getting ready to produce a heat sink-less LED bulb that delivers 133 lumens per watt. That's better than pretty much anything you can buy on the consumer market. It's even nearly the same shape as a conventional bulb. 75 watts worth of light at 10 watts load, that's really very very good.

I also have seen a couple of press releases from Cree announcing LEDs that deliver as much as 240+ lumens per watt. No idea if those are available, however. When that happens though, I might just relamp the entire house. It would cut my lighting load by a factor of 4.

A 75 watt equivalent lamp drawing 5 watts. It almost boggles the mind.
