And went ahead and order it too. So I'll let you know how good it is.
According to the people that actually make the LED, its rated at "1000 lumens at 100 lumens per watt" if driven to 100%. Since that light claims 9 watts, that would be only 900 lumens even if driven to 100%, not 1,200 as claimed. Reality is probably closer to 600.

But performance claims are funny things. They get people to order things without any real guarantees or proof of performance. And shipping costs are usually so close to the item cost that most people won't return them.
