This is completely different than the LED in the article article. The LED in the article is a single LED, while the one you linked two is 6 high performance LEDs

That's not truly an amazing feat anyways. I could hook up 1000 standard 100 lumen LEDs and have a theoretical output of 100,000 lumens. That's why this LED is amazing, it is so powerful in a single package.

rickane58, it is only one LED, you are just seeing the leads/heatsinks.

And that article is relatively old about the 1000lm LED, so I would say Seoul is a little behind.

KPrime: "whereby the researchers managed to integrate six high-performance LED lighting chips into the unit’s small housing."

Read the link. You can't see the six individual LEDs because of the "light" being emitted from them in the picture, but according to the article, there are six.
