    i think the lumens determine how bright the light is

    IMO both seem pretty useless

    maybe to you, but thanks for the opinion

    I'm thinking the 100w led should be brighter but I'm not sure by how much.

    Wavelength/Color Temperature: 7300±200 on the LED

    And

    Color Temperature: 3300°on the Halogen with Average Life Hours: 75

    Please explain the use of ether?

    I think I've mentioned it's for a diy projector.

    I don't know if cost is a factor to you but you will also need to purchase a 100w driver to run the multichip which will push your purchase over 100 dollars. I think the 100w multichip is brighter than the halogen light linked above. Thats from my experience of seeing a bunch of 100w leds light an area up and also seeing shop spot lights light an area up.
