Portuguese term

alto rendimento

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng LED luminaire description
Hi everyone,

This is the text I am translating:
'XXX é uma luminária LED de alto rendimento 120lm/W, garantindo a melhor iluminação e economia de energia. Devido à sua construção, esta luminária apresenta 3 configurações diferentes e elevados índices de proteção IP65 e IK09. A XXX é recomendada para aplicação em espaços verdes, caminhos pedestres e iluminação pública.'

I translated 'luminária LED de alto rendimento' as 'high-output LED luminaire'.

The client thinks it should be 'high-efficiency'. He wrote:
'porque os lumens por watt (aquilo que colocamos como 120lm/w) tem a ver exclusivamente com a eficiência da luminária, isto é, esta luminária consegue o rendimento de produzir 120 lumens (é a medida da luz efetiva) por watt.'

So which translation would you use? Or is there a better term?

Thank you in advance.
