Default Are name-brand low-energy fluorescent "Green" bulbs any brighter than store brand?

Okay, I see it gets considerably brighter with time. However, this
seems like something of an annoyance if I want there to be light
*now*. Sort of like revisting TV's that need warming up or something.

Doctor to patient, "You need to give up wine, women, and song."

Patient, "Will I live any longer?"

Doctor, "No, but it will seem like one hell of a lot longer."

All this bull**** and hooey to save a few pennies here and there, and so
little kids won't eat used up light bulbs and die.
