We use multiple, similar floodlights to the 27,000lm one mentioned in the previous post, for deck lighting on offshore construction vessels. As deck operations take place around the clock there has to be sufficient lighting for there to be little difference between day and night. The big advantage of the LED lights is the long life; due to the continual vibration halogens had a very short life and access for lamp changing is not always straightforward.
I am virtually all led at home but do have a couple of CFLs lingering on. One problem, for me, with some of the led lamps is HF RF noise. I just move the noisy lamps to places where they can be switched off when I am using the radio. I do still have fluorescent tubes in my garage but they will be replaced with drop in led tubes as they fail. I am undecided what to do about the metal halide lights in the machine shop. It doesn't get a lot of use at the moment so it will probably be a case of slowly changing to led as lamps fail.
