not really. That's due to the concentration in light going into one big "hotspot" whereas the HIR will spread light evenly.
And because on that comparison, the bulb is 4,300K rather than what most people use such as 6000K, HIR is at 2000 lumens so the extra 1200 lumens from a 4,300K bulb will look much brighter
