Q: Will increasing the wattage of LEDs increase their output?

      A: This can happen if you use the same product with the same brand, same optics, and same hardware. However, in general, the properties of components (such as optical systems, radiators, LED chips, and drivers) have a greater impact on output than wattage. The output of a 3-watt LED from one manufacturer will be different from a 3-watt LED from another manufacturer, even if the same LED chip is used. Therefore, using high-quality chips alone does not guarantee better performance. Note that the efficiency decreases slightly as the wattage increases. A 3W powered LED will produce three times less light output than a 1W powered LED.
