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.

oh i was finna say let me know how much u paid but.
It's only a 65w cfl and its equal to a 300w reg bulb.
I have 85w cfls and dey work good.
Is the light bright white?

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?

No actually, it is a twisy one. It looks just like one you would normally use in your house but about 10 times bigger! lol. The box says for comercial use. I'll grab the box and snap a shot of it.
