Default LED wattage

Can I take it that where a lamp or shade states a maximum wattage,
this is for incandescent bulbs and any LED will be okay (on the basis
that LEDs use so much less power), or is the light intensity likely to
be an issue liable to cause fading?

Remember that LEDs don't like the bases containing the electronics to
get too warm (this will shorten the life). The devil is in the detail.
