You may not need to match lumens the beauty of the LED is direction a incandescent bulb scatters light in all directions the LED's do not they are directional so their light is concentrated in a more singular direction. The advancement in LED lighting improves every day and is doing 300+ lumens per watt at this point with a single chip. I installed some very nicely made flush mount LED’s in my camper fantastic amount of light with the RF to go along with it. The switching supply wiped out my FM broad cast radio it was bad enough I had to trash the supply’s and build a 10 volt regulator. I have found that the wide voltage band LED’s tend to have noisy supplies.
