This debate (basicly, on whether the human eye is peak or average sensitive)
has happened here several times now - see the archives...

I don't recall whether it has ever been mentioned whether there's a
difference between viewing the light SOURCE, vs trying to illuminate a
'scene' with the output from the LEDs.  I'd suspect that in that latter
case, peak output would become less significant compared to average output.
