Compact fluorescent light bulbs: actual consumption and tests

[Christophe]

I just measured at the ammeterre consumption of 2 compact fluorescents:

A) Massive 9W: 33,4mA on 229V is 7,64W

B) Massive 15W: 51,9mA on 230V is 11,97W

Measured realized during the first 3 startup seconds.
The PM's cosphi remains at 1.0.

UFC Que Choisir published in its September 440 2006 issue a comparison of the best long-lasting compact fluorescent light bulbs:

Oh good comparative! Thank you !

Sorry to reply more than a year after this message but I have never seen this comparison!

The Megaman gets the best rating and it's not even an Ingenium model!

By chance would you still have the end? Apparently it misses one (or more?) Pages ...

what am I having fun to see your comparatives, because there are really lures
thank you in any case, for your tests;)

Hello, I am also a distributor of compact fluorescent bulbs, and I am surprised not to see a test on ELIX bulbs, because I sell them, you too, and I would be happy to know the result of his test Power / power consumed / actual value.

For my account, my customers are VERY satisfied, but I would like the opinion of an expert, thank you.

They are certainly a little more expensive, but hey, considering what is sold in the national supermarkets (it would be necessary to hang them by their boyos!) ... Arlette, if you listen to us!

So I measured in electrotech for an Osram 18w, 20W which is suitable by cons when we see the jaws of the current it's scary, it looks filled with various harmonics, do not it risk damaging some thing these harmonics?

Hi everybody.

I pause a question that I can not answer myself for lack of adequate measuring equipment. it concerns the luminous flux of the bulb. we start with a theoretical case:

I use a 18W compact fluorescent giving me 1100 lumens (this is an example). I find the lighting insufficient for the environment in which it is located. I decide to add one to improve this point (the same). So for 2x18W (we assume that the bulbs are in the same places), how much lumen am I going to get? One would think that one would obtain the double one, 2200 lumens, but is it really the case?

Thanks for the information (I was looking for a lot of time and I did not see any answers to my question, maybe I'm not asking the right questions?)
