Within the same batch they will be similar but different for each batch depending on the quality of manufacturing. As already noted, cheap grab bag LEDs will be all over the place compared to good quality manufactured to specification ones. The real question is how much luminosity do you need? Then design the circuit to meet that specification. Making them brighter than necessary, depending on their specification and the circuit design may result in premature failure i.e. short lifetime per specification and will waste power in today's "Green World" if you believe in that. There are lots of types of LEDs with various luminosity specifications. From small indicators in darkness ones to hi lumen illumination ones used for headlights. There are illumination standards if you really want to get into it.drive them to their (safe) peak of current and luminosity."
