What are the current options for higher power LED bulbs?

Some years ago I bought what I think is an 18w LED from ASDA, and it works well and is (no surprise here) usefully brighter than the standard LED bulbs we use elsewhere.

I don't think ASDA sell the same bulb any more. I've looked around and I can find similar bulbs but note the reviews stating that they sometimes have a short lifespan.

Are there any quality high power LED bulbs?

    I had a look through Screwfix's site earlier today and couldn't find anything over 14w. Though, it was reasonably priced at £5.

    I'll have a look at Toolstation ... There's this which is 18W. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Lighting/d220/LED+GLS+Lamps/sd3382/Integral+LED+GLS+Frosted+Lamp/p46197 Toolstation is convenient as there's one just down the road.

    The only problem is that the 20W on Amazon would also look to be a good option. If not for the inconsistent reviews. I am wondering if the higher power bulbs often have short lifespans.

    Any experiences with higher power bulbs?

    A decent 18W LED should be putting out the equivalent of 200 watts??

    Is this a floodlight? :)
