i know, two years old, but i don't think anyone has actually looked at data before. That said, and i understand GE is not standard for what everyone else does, but i'm sure its close. http://www.gelighting.com/na/business_lighting/education_resources/learn_about_light/distribution_curves.htm...

Well i guess this depends on who you follow here, bubblegoogles said its because the phosphorus coating is so thick, which i'm sure causes issues. The other thing would be because lumens are measured around yellow-ish light. ie. light that is most sensitive to our eyes. CMH bulbs and LEDs have...
