- One of the things I read a few days ago about fluorescent bulbs said that some "Energy-saving" bulbs use less power, but their light output is lower, too, and the lumens-per-watt is often worse than

- While I have not tried one myself, it's my understanding that the Kill-a-Watt meter measures both apparent and true RMS power. It has displays for watts, volt-amps, power factor, etc. Fairly easy to

- 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
