Surely the funniest bit about those labels is they're measuring kWh/1000 hours

Makes them easier to parse for the average person than if they were in just raw kWh. A GU10 Philips Hue White Ambiance with a crap G efficiency rating is like 5 kWh/1000h.

5W is much easier to read than 5kWh/1000h.

Yeah, but your utility company charges you by the kWh.

Or 5 watts

Gas pipelines, from memory, measure gas flow also in kWh/h.

I mean, it would feel weird to measure flow of a material medium in Watts, but still...

Makes it easier to compare to electricity. If I'm attempting to switch to only electricity I can more easily see what I'll be needing, heat pump, battery size etc
