Which bit don't you get ?
My claim that 17 watts if incandescent light typically produces 170 lumens ?
Or their claim that their lamp uses only 1 watt and produces as much light as a 17watt incandescent light.
Incidentally, unless my maths is failing me (and it may well be) Optolum were producing an led lamp that could produce 83.3 lumens for 3 watts almost 3 years ago; they may well have improved since then.

I've emailed both Optolum and Ultraleds to find out what their state of the art is at the moment and whose led they are using; I'll post their responses.
