The more expensive high power leds can achieve almost what you want, but the technology is still to expensive for comparable light to halogen.

When your lamp says something like "use 60 watt" or "to reduce risk of fire use less than 100 W" lighbulbs, this is all about wattage and not about lumens (the amount light). This means you can use a 20 W CFL (approx. equivalent to a 75 W incandescent) in a 60 W socket. Sweet.
