They can be claimed as lazers, but lazers are so damn overused that it becomes impossible to appoint them as having lightspeed.
It's an abused trope that even meta-level street characters like Captain American and Wolverine have blocked with frequency throughout their careers. We had this sort of discussion over in the comic section recently, still on going in fact. The feat is diluted in value thus unless they (the lazers) are able to be quantified as being lighspeed or given a quote that attributes them as lightspeed, then they aren't lightspeed.
Otherwise in absence of the former evidence, at best we can give it the benefit of the doubt that they are meant to be faster than bullets at least. (Cap and Wolverine are also bullet timers, and they don't seem to struggle much more with lazers than they do with bullets). High-end hypersonic feat.
