Not specifically about the example above with the 240W light bar. I haven't bought or thought about LED light bars for vehicles so I don't know how those are sold.
LEDs for homes, in my experience, are sold with their "incandescent equivalent" wattage prominently marked on the box.
If you have 300million folks used to buying 60W bulbs, and suddenly what they see are 9-12W bulbs, they are going to be VERY confused. So LEDs, at least for home use, are sold differently than incandescent. I think the CFL bulbs were also the same when they came out.
