Yikes. My basement has twelve 75wPAR30 halogen can lights. I think each puts out 1000 or so lumens. There are 2 switchable groups of 4 and two more groups of 2 (4 switches).

Do the LED equivalents really only provide about half the light?

For blinding brightness and bang for the buck, you can't beat halogens. I specifically didn't want blindingly bright halogens for the kitchen. I wanted "pleasantly bright light". I can't give you scientific numbers or data but I can give you a pretty accurate layman's opinion: For a 10x20 galley kitchen 6 of the LED can lights lafinfil linked to is more than enough for a "pleasantly bright light". I work in the creative field and am aware of lighting and temps, etc. It's a very nice pleasant light. Hope this helps.
