However both lights can be exactly the same wattage, eg 60 watts.

Think of the Pearl globes, that might be a good example.
I seem to remember that soft/warm white, bright white, cool white or daylight descriptions on a fluorescent light referred to the colour temperature of the bulb which was dependent on the phosphor mix used in the bulb. While you can purchase white LEDs in different colour temperatures, I suspect a variable colour temperature white LED would require something like a white, a blue and a green LED. By varying the brightness of the blue and green LEDs, the overall colour temperature of the array could be changed. I have the feeling that such a solution would make a significant addition to the cost of the Glo.
