You want brighter just put more LEDs in.

Okay, when I was in school the teachers labeled me "a little slow" so help me out with the electronics side of it. If I'm understanding you correctly you're saying that the LED based lights are more efficient on their usage of current/wattage compared to halogen and three 1Watt LEDs put out double the light of a 10w halogen? Am I correct?
