I thought the maximum was 300lm/watt for a phosphor conversion LED? The blue/uv they use to drive the phosphor is the bottleneck as I recall. If they could drive the phosphor with green LEDs instead, could be interesting.
I've heard 300 - 400 lumens/W is the "theoretical" maximum with current tech, but there is so much research going on that who knows what's down the road.
