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

Here are some aircraft cockpit lights:

Could someone please address my original question, without tangents?

LED with luxeons?

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.
