Default 300 watt CFL from Lowes....
permalink
Bought a 300 watt cfl at Lowes today. Package didn't give much info on lumens/kelvin etc.... Is anyone familiar with this or similar bulbs? Actual usage is 65 watts, equivelant to a 300 watt it says. It screws into a standard (medium base) light socket. Good, bad, indifferent?? I figured the more wattage the better.

based on other bulbs, I'd say it's between 3400 and 4000 lumens. I can't really answer the Kelvin part, but does the light look like a regular light bulb, or is it more white?

It's definately bright white! Not the yellowish tint style. The box doesn't say 65 watts but the sticker on the shelf said 65 watt..... I paid $16.00 for it.

I think I saw the same bulb at Lowes when I was there today! Was it made by 'American something-or-other'? and shaped with the U-shaped lights, or the twist light kind?

Is it so bright that it is almost blue?
