5050 SMDs are so 2012 maaaaaannnnnn,
Get with the times you dinosaur!!!
:) J/K
How bright any LED chipset is depends on how hard it is driven.
I went through a bunch of LEDs seeking more brightness, and most of those were the 5050s and man did they vary in brightness, independent of the actual number of 5050s they smushed together.
I have been more impressed with more recent offerings of 5730 chipsets.
But honestly, its been a while since I dabbled with new offerings.
And I certainly do not believe lumen or wattage claims.
