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

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?
...and when did I call them white?... as I said earlier some posters just seem to enjoy making pedantic statements and then clutching at straws to back up their posts. Take time to read what I've posted rather than what you think I have... another classic newsgroup affliction.

Because it's simply adspeak. Most aren't particularly interested in the type of lamp but what it does, when talking about domestic lighting.
I didn't say *you* did. But you asked for examples.

It is simply how they are refered to by anybody, from reseachers in the field to the ad men you despise. I'm not aware of any other term in common usage. As I said it is common terminology rather than ad speak.
I wasn't even aware you'd gone off on some tangent regarding adverts.
I don't think anybody takes ads as gospel as you say, and as I said above I've no idea why you shot off on such a tangent.

Its a bit more than that, high power LEDs are a very differnt animal to 5mm LEDs, its a differnce that consumers would benefit knowing the differnce in.
White as in having a near continuous spectrum through the visible range, didn`t comment on quality of white which is a philosophical discussion that also applies to all forms of discharge lighting.
