BTW, I am going to try using a light meter on my phone that I downloaded to see how the brightness of the two compare when I get it. I don't know how accurate the light meter is, but it will give an approximate percentage to compare with.
Probably better than nothing... but as I pointed out before, it depends on the ANGLE of the light distribution. If the replacement LED's have a very narrow focus, they might indeed be much brighter, but only in a tiny "sweet spot". Something to keep in mind.
If you do try to use a meter, then you would want to compare each at night, to keep the background noise (light) constant. And you should test from exactly the same distance AND angles. Plus it would be good to test both from more than one angle.
