Where did you get your 6W, and how does the light output compare with the 3W?
The reason I ask is I just bought the 4x1W (claimed 360lum) MR16 from DealExtreme. Light output is several times that of an older 3W Luxeon MR16 that I've had for a few years, which is great. But it's still maybe 1/2 the total light output of my 20W EnergyAdvantage halogen overvolted at 14.4V, supposedly about 650lum -- and considerably less than half the on-center brightness, thanks to the LED's broader beam. Its output complements the 20W very nicely, but is still inadequate as a primary light for actual roadway illumination in dark, wet conditions.
Bottom line: still looking for an MR16 LED (if one exists) that is considerably brighter than the "360 lumen" 4W unit I just got from DealExtreme.
