Just got a 4-pack of the Walmart "Great Value" version of these energy-
saver style fluorescent 23w bulbs which they claim are equivalent to a
100w incandescent bulb. Not even close. It's about like a 40w bulb.

Are the name brand bulbs of this type any better?

It should be very close to a 100w bulb once its had a couple of mins
to reach peak output. Maybe you've got some junk halophosphate ones.
