you cannot. Unless the manufacturer already has calculated both candlepower and watts, you're pretty much out of luck. Watts and candlepower are two very different measurements.Candlepower is a measure of light intensity, watts is a measure of power input

candle power can convert to lumen's, wattage is practically obsolete when applied to L.E.D.'s due to their low amperage draw . if you want to compare , convert a typical incandescent wattage rating to lumen's and compare that way
