Wattage rating of puck lights

[mitchoe]

I need to replace a couple of my led puck lights in the ceiling of my MH. They are the kind that are mounted with screws, if that makes any difference. My question is, the lights that I am replacing are rated at 2w, but the replacement lights I bought are 5.3w. Is this a problem? They were supposed to be 3.8w, but again I don’t know if that error is important or not. Is there a problem with them being rated almost 3 times more? Any advice appreciated.

If they fit mechanically and are the brightness and color temperature you want, then you're probably done. The wattage may be a factor if there's an external dimmer control, as some LED fixtures aren't dimmable.
