you mean Luxeon III and Luxeon V?

because none of them are really 3W and 5W.

Technically, if driven to their max potantial, some are brighter. You need to look the specs, it will depend on colors, etc.
As a general basic, the Luxeon V is brighter then the Luxeon III, but requires more sinking, and more power.

There's also the Luxeon K2 that is in the same competition of "what model should I use".

I personally have a few Luxeon I star/o in sabers that are bright ennough to look good, if you make the proper choices regarding colors and optics.

There's no definitive answer as to what you need to use, its always a matter of compromise.

Please do read on this board, this question has been asked more then a thousand times.
