I've experienced with LED last year and the performance was not even 50% of the xenon gas (using custom lenses and all). Conclusion is if you want something equally as effective as xenon in the LED format, you'll need to deal with "extreme" temp that LED generates. I've figured out near as twice as what xenon outputs (major fire hazard, needs serious cooling).

Maybe in a few years when the tech gets a bit more advanced.

For the moment, Xenon is the best mate (cheap also)
