Does anyone make a wired and dash mounted map light for the car with
several luxeon LED's in it? Something that puts out some really
significant lumens, for example 200 lumens?

A lumen is equal to 1 foot-foot candle falling over a 1 square foot area.
FYI, a typical office is 50 to 100 foot candles, so I would think that the
glare from 200 lumens would make your night vision so bad that it would take
20 minutes to be able to see in the dark again. I would imagine that 25 to
50 lumens would be more than enough to read by.

Here is a commercial quality hard wired map light:

jcwhitney.com also has map lights

Could someone please address my original question, without tangents?

Probably, though I'm sure they wanted to try to advise on the rather
over-kill nature of the original request in order to save you money and
trouble at a later date.

You get ONE answer and already with the whining?

I think that puts the kibosh on anything useful anyone else might have
wanted to share -- NOBODY likes a whiner!

I really wouldn't get hung up on the Luxeon name. Luxeon is just one
brand of high-power LED (out of three or four) that has happens to have
good marketing to the end user.
