I have read the same thing. And experienced it with white LEDs in a red lens. Way dimmer.
Modern LEDs have come a long way. As an example, I have a small two lithium cel flash light that is about the same size as a small Mag light but shorter, with only one 3 or 5 watt LED. It is a LOT brighter than my big three D cel Mag light but it fits in your pocket. I got it from Surefire lights
