It's not. Incandescents are about 2% efficient. There are different efficiency converters though. A common technology is to rectify and (hopefully) smooth the mains voltage, then put it through a linear current regulator and then to a series string of LEDs with a voltage drop of just a bit less than the resulting voltage. The efficiency of this varies extremely with the applied voltage, the higher the voltage, the less efficient.
