Technically speaking, I gather not. But what is powering all those LEDs? It doesn't take much imagination to envision a new Dr.S configuration of LEDs generating the equivalent amount of light as a typical 100 watt incandescent bulb, or better yet an equivalent 25 watt ECObulb. Say, could Ron's configuration be adapted to power an ECObulb? Do we need to redefine the definition of what constitutes a true "closed loop" system?
