Take a look at http://www.luxeonstar.com/maglite-led.php.

Good luck converting the 2,200CP cited on the Maglite site into lumens as the two units are not equal. A lumen is equal to the amount of energy emanating from a square meter surface, while a candlepower (or candela) is the amount of energy a light source produces in a given direction of a green light (540E12 Hz or ~555nm) that has the intensity of 1/683 watts per steradian. One (lumen) is radiance, whereas the other (candela) is illuminance and thus they are not measuring the same thing, but can be converted with some field testing: need to know how large of an area a light illuminates at a known distance to convert between the two.
