Equivalent brightness to 20W incandescent is 24 diodes of 5050 size each, or 48*1210. Also, watch lumens - some boards can be high-current, and then they more lumens with the same number of diodes. But mostly it's 24-5050.
You seem to know your lighting stuff. Is there any way for the typical consumer to decide what to buy in terms of light output vs number if SMDs and maybe wattage/current? How truthful or realistic are lumen output claims between sellers or manufacturers? Are there better quality LEDs that would be a better choice?
I'm just trying to find a couple of LED spot or flood lamp style to replace the incandescent lamps in an aircraft style reading light and not having much luck finding useful info.
