    That looks like a pretty good light to me for your purpose/screen size. Can't say 100% that it will work without trying it but I would say 95% chance it will work fine. If I was in your situation I would seriously consider buying that light because it is all built and ready to go, just screw it into a light socket and flip a switch. Nice job finding that bulb.

    One small can be double size of another small. So thats hard to answer.
    Generally speaking I dont see why it should not work.

    A 1 watt or a 3 watt or even for that matter a 5 watt led could all be the same led.
    It is all a function of the power you put to the led.
    You generally want to go with less led that can handle more power and ideal run them at a lower power. IMO This can help greatly with there useful life.
    EX. An Osram hyper red can be run at 400mA or 1A so essential that is what makes it roughly a 1 watt (2.35 Vf * .4A) or a 3 watt (2.6 Vf * 1A)
    I would be very hesitant to buy any non-brand led from ebay.
    Rapid Led has the Osrams for what I think is cheap. Outside of buying a 100 of them from Mouser I can't even come close to that price.
    Add the company sells heatsinks that are ready drilled and tapped and could easily make a great DIY project.
    Look into the Cree XT-E royal blues they are the newest and have great effeciencey.

    Also Meanwell makes great led drivers. The Taiwanese are great at integrated circuits. The driver can be the most important part of the build.
    The right ones will have a way to adjust the current/power so you can tweak what works. And do not forget that the driver comes with a warranty.
    Always keep in mind why you want to go with led. IMO

    Hope this helps.
