[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 535538, member: 12496"] This just in. An Elzo 45 watt CFL (Amazon) is marked 45 watts, 2800 lumens, and 5500K. Not used yet, but it actually does in fact measure 47 watts and 88 VA. It also claims 91 CRI. Faith is restored. :) For reference, a 150 watt Sylvania incandescent claims 2640 lumens. Whereas a Fovitec Studio Pro 85 watt CFL does not mention lumens, and it in fact measures only 51 watts and 88 VA. Another noname China 45 watt CFL measures only 26 watts and 44 VA. These seem pretty false claims. [/QUOTE]
