CREE LED headlight bulbs ... anyone tried them ?

[kfrogzx7]

I'm wanting to improve my R1100s lighting, standard is to my mind lamentably poor, bordering on dangerous.
I took some advice from the forums and fitted a 6000k HID kit for the dipped beam only ( not much use for head as they take a while to "warm" up ) and even after adjusting beam well down I'm dazzling too many people and getting flashed all the time. Obviously just too bright.
Now I'm thinking of these Cree LED's , seem to be the answer to me, low power usage, instant light and long life.
Anybody got thoughts or experience of them ?
Also, what CREE LED wattage / lumen rating would be equivalent or slightly brighter than the standard bulbs ( 55 W ) ?

but knowing from working with big barco projectors how critical the point source of light is ,,,, im some what skeptical ,,,
id like to be wrong though

I've have custom mounts made and will mounting them on the head protectors. Post to follow! Along with some other touring mods. I went for these to increase road presence, I don't think they'll be massively bright.
