Ditto. I've been disappointed with low energy bulbs. They
don't seem to last any longer than ordinary filament bulbs
and the equivalent light output claimed is just plain
wrong. So where a good light level is wanted such as the
main living room and bathroom I've switched back to
ordinary bulbs. It's nice to be able to see again!!!

You could always recognise the fact that the equivalent light outputs
are always an overestimate, and choose a more sensible replacement
based on that - eg 27W rather than 22W.

So is there one that will give as much light as a 150 watt tungsten bulb?

No, I thought as much!
