I don't know. Subjectively, they FELT really bright!
Maybe I can set up two matched fixtures side-by-side, one with some T8 fluorescents, and one with the LED tubes, and then take photos with a camera on iris lockdown.
Also, in my case, I'm using very inexpensive, but electronically ballasted fixtures. Taking them apart is a real pain, but they are still very efficient, even running T12 bulbs. These are not fixtures that I would want to try rewiring, there's just really no space inside to work on them.
I like the concept of an LED tube that doesn't require rewiring because I think it will really help the masses adopt LED tubes. Not everybody is as handy with wiring and comfortable with working on electricity as the folks on this forum.
