You'd need to define 'high power'. And define the light output from

I prefer not to take adverts as gospel - that's all.


I don't think anybody is...where did that come from?


Calling 'high power' LEDs high power for a start. And calling them
white.


Well 1 Watt is high power relative to 1mW of standard LEDs that have
been around 30-40 years, and is common terminology in this field, so
why would you have a problem with it?


Because it's simply adspeak. Most aren't particularly interested in the
type of lamp but what it does, when talking about domestic lighting.


...and when did I call them white?...


I didn't say *you* did. But you asked for examples.
