My understanding is that all of them have different spots where they are most efficient.
And what was a 'prototype' white LED back in 2006 is pretty standard now. So, LED would be up over a 100 and with a lens, you can disperse the light in many different patterns.
I thought metal halide was more like 65-115 lm/W.
Another consideration is quality of light. I do not like the light produced by low pressure sodium fixtures for indoor use.
