To wrap it up, LED lights aren’t necessarily brighter than other types, however they are brighter based on the same wattage. This also means LED lights are more efficient based on the same brightness as other lights since LED lights require a much lower wattage.

It is an industry standard that cool white LEDs are brighter than warm white. If you take the XP-G2 for example you can see that the lumen output for the LED ran at 350mA is as follows: warm white =121 lumens neutral white = 129 lumens cool white (6500K) = 158 lumens

Lumens (lm) are a measurement of light output! This would mean that the higher the lumens, the higher the brightness of LED lights is going to appear. To put this into perspective, a standard household LED Bulb has an average lumen 800lm, while a large commercial fixture, such LED Shoe Boxes or Stadium Lights, can reach 160,000lm per fixture!

First, brightness depends on the specific bulbs you choose. Within the wide range of LED bulbs available there are some bulbs brighter than others. The same is true for Xenon HID bulbs. So, some LED bulbs are brighter than some Xenon HID bulbs, but some Xenon HID bulbs are brighter than some LED bulbs.
