No, this was weak guns (and the monitor should have been replaced for
you!)... white point is merely the choice of what ratio of red, green and
blue to mix together to define white. It only effects luminance when the
maximum luminance available is not sufficient, and choking two guns back to
balance with the maximum available from the third means reducing total
luminance even further.
