I know what you meant. I literally named three non-LED devices that emit as much light as a 100W LED, or "equivalents of a 100W LED".

Ah. Ok.

Your question didn't have enough words. Asking "What other kind of light would a 100 watt LED be equivalent to" would have been less ambiguous.

Well, there are only two ways I could have meant it. Of both lighting technologies being referred to here, one is LED from context. Also, no other technology can match 200W fluorescent etc. with 100 W of input power.

But yeah, I do concede that some puzzle-solving is needed if you're not familiar with the technology.

I don't think you understand that your comment made it seem like you were the one who misunderstood and didn't fully read his comment.
