[QUOTE="UNG, post: 550570, member: 8931"] Rather than comparing wattage of the lamps you may be better looking at the luminous efficacy or the lumens / watt output of the lamps. The lumens / watt output of LED lamps can vary quite significantly and it is possible to get a 3W LED lamp which is a lot brighter than a 5 or 6W LED lamp The wattage limit on the fitting may be down to the LED driver that the fitting has built into it, you don't say what type of lamps the fitting you are looking at takes which may indicate if an LED driver is fitted [/QUOTE]
