A head-to-head comparison would be the only way to resolve this. Lumen measurements and watt ratings are so skewed in the LED marketing world they are meaningless.
Not so. Most LED semiconductor devices have lumen versus current diagrams. Its easy for the manufacturer to figure out or measure current draw. Fairly easy to quote the lumen output on a module.
One thousand lumens is BRIGHT.
The double fixtures in our trailer have 2 x 480 lumen modules in them and nobody is complaining about too much light. And in an RV its easy to switch off every second fixture if you want to create some ambiance. It's so nice to be able to see well in our trailer.
I have no regrets doing this project. It cost me about $150 to do the entire trailer (31 modules x ~$4 each + tape). I would do it exactly the same again, save I would use a different module if I found a better one. At this point I have not.
