I have a couple of little 10W LED floods mounted on stands, for illuminating outdoor work after dark. They are perfectly adequate for that, but I tried using them a couple of days ago for photography (accepting that the colour balance would be off). To my surprise, the luminous flux going by the camera's meter was very low indeed - a 20W halogen table lamp was much more effective.
