I tested an old 20W osram fluurescent bulb with built in ballast and
it read 14W 0.75 power factor

A new compact 11W fluurescent bulb read 12-14W 1.00 power factor.

The old 20W bulb was noticeably brighter than the new compact.

Nothing to do with relative brightness; another poster has given more
details.

Nothing to do with the velocity of the flour, or whether it's self
raising, either! :-)
