That's a nice unit, then. I have a fairly cheesy power meter from Lacrosse, similar in style to the Kill-a-Watt, and it clearly does not consider power factor, just current as measured across a shunt

Doug (Shook)- Were your fluorescent tubes of the older T12 variety, or of the smaller T8 type? I have read (not measured) that the T8 tubes are more efficient than the T12. It almost sounds like you
