there are now incandesants that are labelled as 100 watt replacements that claim to last 20 % longer.
Um, yeah, they are 80 watt bulbs. The filament may last longer but not quite so bright.
(I just repplaced 4 lamps in a 5 lamp light and darn if the 4 new ones aren't quite as bright, carefully reading the packaging it is covered with 'caveats'. )
All this tricky labelling is getting absurd.
May as well put 'pot-luck' on the packaging.
