9011 (HIR1) bulb: 2350 lumens, 65 watts = 36 lm/w.
 H9 bulb: 2100 lumens, 65 watts = 32+ lm/w.
 9012 (HIR2) bulb: 1870 lumens, 55 watts = 34 lm/w.

The ad says 1500LM.  That is the light output.  compared that to a halogen
H4 bulb's output.  Also consider a halogen H4 has filaments that emit light in a sphere and the LED does not.  The reflector may not work as well with the LED light source.
