German term or phrase: verarbeitet
In the description of a lamp:
"die verarbeiteten Hochleistungs-LEDs schaffen eine Leuchtkraft von 50 herkömmlichen LEDs"

I'm not sure how to translate "verarbeitet" in this context.

I'm giving the points to Kim as I used his word in the end ("modified"). In retrospect Kphred's "utilized/used" gets the vote of the majority. Sorry I can't split the points. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Explanation:
I am pretty sure that the term you are looking for in this case is "utilized" or something to that effect. As in, " the high power LED lamps utilized provide fifty times the amount of light produced by standard LEDs." Modified is not exactly wrong here, since they have been improved upon, but the modification was probably performed in the production, not by the company using them.

As Paul is disbelieving, I do provide a choice of Goggle hits, where processed is used in manufacturing context:

Well-sealed and cleanly processed lamps provide a UV output with a defined and repeatable energy spectrum as shown on the
left, compared with that of a poorly processed lamp as
shown on the right (Fig.1).

Finally the lamp is then filled with spectroscopically pure gas and sealed. Processed lamps are then operated for several hours
prior to testing.

disagree  Lancashireman: As a German native speaker, you have provided a valuable insight into the intention of the author. However, your solution - ‘processed LEDs’ – is of no practical use as an English translation.

disagree  Paul Cohen: Animal feed can be processed, yes. Cheese spread is processed, ok. LEDs, in this context, are not processed.

(high-)quality


Explanation:
A little more context might help, but I think that "verarbeitet" as used here probably refers to quality or workmanship, as in "hochwertig verarbeitet", with a word like "hochwertig" or "gut" being understood.

Wenn was gut verarbeitet ist, so ist das einfach well made oder ein Beispiel von high-quality manufacturing. Bei Autos, Häusern und technischen Anlagen reden Fachleute gern auch von high build quality.
