Default Over-claimed efficiency of CFL energy saving light bulbs

I think the problem could be due to supply voltages. I suspect that
CFL output is more sensitive to supply voltage than pearls, in which
case we need 230V rated CFLs if we are to get the claimed output.


In reality incandescents tend to be affected far more by supply voltage
fluctuations that CFLs
