why is that?

doesn't 6w LED equal around 50w-60w incandescent?

I understood fluorescent was about 1/4 the wattage of the incandescent bulb, with led's using only 1/2 (or even less then 1/2) of the florescent. that would be about 1:9 or 1:10 so 6w led should give like 50w-60w equivalent.

am I making a mistake somewhere?
