I've been in RV's that switched to LED and really saw no difference in brightening up a MH.
Perhaps that is because they used the "warm white" rather than the 5000K-6000K color temp? Mine is so much brighter than before that it is like a new MH!



Sorry, I don't have "before" pics, but trust me, this is a huge upgrade.
What you see in these pictures is 2 double bulb ceiling fixtures + all 4 under-cabinet strips (each replaced a double-bulb fixture). Total current draw as pictured is just 4.5 Amps. With the old incandescents, there would be 12 (yellowish) bulbs (6 double-bulb fixtures) burning here instead, drawing a full 17 Amps! And trust me, it would not be as bright, even with that many bulbs turned on!
The result is that I can now use fewer lights/fixtures as before, and still have more light, at a fraction of the current.
