anyone tried this led lams yet?

Wow at that price it is just over 26 cents a led. I knew them teeny weeney leds were cheap, but not that cheap. Anyway, the specs don't say much other than the 6000K color temperature ( bluish all the way).
Without any photometrics and the expected spotty beam that ALL those little leds have, I would say that it's not bad for studio closeups as a broad fill. Put a diffuser and a CTO on that and perhaps it can work out for product videography/photography.
Unless I see a LUX rating at 3ft and power consumption in Watts, I really can speculate at something in the order of 50-60 watts and 3000ish luxes. Equivalent to a 200W kitchen frosted filament bulb. .......or slightly less.
 
I think he was inquiring about a fully assembled unit for video/studio portraiture work. One very important aspect of any led unit that will be used for good light reproduction is the CRI ( color rendering index) the higher the better. Anywhere in the 85+ range should be good. However the bluish tinted leds with a high color temperature usually are in the lowish (70-75) cri range and cannot reproduce skin tones accurately without serious color correction in post.
