Philips 806 lm 8W LEDs in the kitchen, they were saying 75mA at 230V


But that 75mA (and the newer 70mA) are clearly bollox, maybe someone
printed the current for 110V lamps on the 230V lamps?


Clearly bollox? depends on what '8W' means,and how much of that current
is in phase with the voltage.

8W = 16VA is not unknown if a capacitor dropper is in play.


I thought they had to meet a decent power factor these days?
