This is a small guide about the Gen Leds differences, some numbers are just a estimate.
In the case of White Leds, Watts is just a measure of energy dissipation. I think most people relate watts to light because numerous residential & commercial light bulbs are sold on the basis of wattage. Even compact flourescent bulbs are marketed as "comparable to [x] watts."
A 100 watt florescent bulb, for example, would put out substantially more visible light than a 100-watt incadescent bulb.

I post in the old forum some time ago that I can call 4 Gen lights those are using Leds like Cree and similar, Rebel, Samsung, etc. This kind of Leds emit more lumens with the same current of the previous gen.
