News Clipping...Thanks Steven<br /><br />Yes Savethebulb.org: <br /><a href="http://savethebulb.org/category/news-clippings" rel="nofollow">News Clippings</a><br />covers some of that too.<br /><br />As quoted from a BBC article:<br />" The Lighting Research Center in the United States goes further. <br />“We believe in the divide by three rule,” says associate director Russell Leslie, who recommends a 20-watt CFL to match a 60-watt incandescent bulb. “The equivalent ratings you see on the box are usually got by testing in a laboratory environment.”<br /><br />At home, brightness varies as conditions change. “A compact fluorescent light is designed to provide maximum light output at 25C, and when it gets hotter or colder than that, its brightness can be reduced.<br />“If your bulb is in a recessed fixture in the ceiling, and it gets warm, you might see a 10-20% reduction in its light output.”<br /><br />And studies show CFL bulbs can get 20% dimmer over time."Lighthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123172670211101092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316303495378677857.post-10089970071434233512012-02-29T11:32:14.307-05:002012-02-29T11:32:14.307-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lighthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123172670211101092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316303495378677857.post-79297778938205405712012-02-29T07:34:20.830-05:002012-02-29T07:34:20.830-05:00CFLs dimmer than supposed
