Hmmm… the Emitter part inside could make a good flooder with a good lower voltage driver. 
It uses 18W, but you can also buy 40W, 60W and 75W equivalents which may need less batteries, one could buy the 40W and under drive it for camping, i believe it uses about 6W of electricity
the volts + watts + amps factor is probally goign to increase to drive the bulb’s emitter stup with a lower voltage driver using Lithium cells. Im curious though now. 
i might have to pick up the 60 watt version to disect it, and see if it can be modded to run in my Coleman 8-D LED lantern.
there is a thread on it with pics, it uses xb-d chips or something similar
i assume if you rewired it and ripped out the ac-dc circuitry you could run it with a lithium cell or two, it could make a good flood light especially in a power outage
I will have to do that then for the Flashaholic Camp Meet weekend.
All the LEDs are wired in series… too much rewiring to be practical for battery mods.
Good. The other bulbs weren't nearly bright enough for me. The 60W equivalent bulbs I have are more like mood lighting, but not that useful for performing tasks. Ideally I'd like a 150W or 250W equivalent, but at least this gets me a step closer.
me too, i would like 200W equivalent i would replace all my bulbs in the house with it (if i could afford them)
These are already on sale at Home Depot. Just search on ‘Cree’. You can find them for under $19 a copy when you buy a 5-pack.
I just pulled the trigger on a 5 pack of them from Home Depot. I need more light in my work shop.
It’s about darn time they came out with an LED equivalent of a 100 watt incan. NONE of the others were bright enough for me. As soon as I see one, I’m snatching one up to try and if it works properly, I will get a bunch of them. I wonder if they will have temperature choices?
they have 2700k and 5000k
Good to know. I will get one of each.
This innovative product gives consumers more reasons to replace their energy-wasting incandescent bulbs by LED Bulb.
Doesnt a 100 watt CFL at 26 watts for $2 make more sense? I CANNOT justify $100 for 5 lightbulbs!!! I will consider them when the price comes down to something a bit more reasonable…
In many situations yes, but keep in mind you will buy many CFLs over the lifetime of this one LED.
If your using it for several hours a day of use the lifetime cost would be similar for each (say 5-8 CFLs and a bit more electricity vs 1 LED).
If your using it in a bathroom or hallway or other place where its only used a few minutes at a time then the economics favour LED (10-15 CFLs and a bit more electricity vs 1 LED) because CFLs only last their rated life if used for over an hour each time you start them.
Two things to note, most $2 CFLs are low quality and the LED price will continue to drop in the coming years.
I ordered 10 PAR 16 for my recessed lighting with natural white 2 months ago from Aliexpress supplier for $3.25 each. My wife didn’t like it because it was too blue. So I place another order for 10 more in warm white 2 weeks ago from the same supplier. They told me because of the increase in material, the bulbs will cost $4.25 each.
It seems the prices are increasing and not decreasing for now.
thats a different market, your buying unsafe chinese yesteryear stuff that they charge what that batch cost from whatever supplier they are using this week plus who knows how many middlemen
Really nice indeed.
Too bad it will get around a decade to be available here locally.
Probably will take plenty of time to get it even with E27 & 240V compatibility through web shops 
The 60’s are going cheap in Connecticut.
