It seems to vary greatly depending on the specific CF, the temperature,
the length of time it has been on and the actual voltage.

Frankly all the CF I have bought recently seem brighter than claim to me,
at least once the warm up. I kind of like that slightly less bright light
and a gradual brightening.
