> It also uses about half the power of the LED bulb it replaced.

This may or may not be the only thing in play for that much of a difference, but my absolute favorite thing about LEDs is that their power consumption vs brightness is not 1:1, so taking an LED to 50% brightness will use <50% power. (So then doubling the number of LEDs means you will always get more brightness or less power or I suppose both if you split the difference.)

The old bulb was a Cree, rated at 460 lm, 3000k, 90+ CRI. It used 5.5W.

The IKEA bulb’s rated at 450 lm, 2700k, 90+ CRI. It uses 2.8W. Both are dimmable and I suspect the IKEA bulb has a higher R9 value.
