Default Lighting choices ?

I've never heard of a vendor calling a lighting system as
"medium light", it would depend on what aquarium it was
put on.

I guess you are referring to light requirement ratings for
corals. If so, then yea it would be.

I get so many customers buying a coral ask "should I put
this coral at the top, or down low", and I just want to
scream "If you would just buy good lighting, you would not
have to ask such silly questions!". But I just ask "how
many watts of light do you have?", and they usually don't
even know.

Is this what some of the vendors call "medium light"?
