Has anyone else noticed an apparent decrease in light output when
replacing an incandescent with a CFL with a reputed equivalent or
greater light output? If so, were the bulbs enclosed by glass globes?
The decrease in light output is so noticeable that we are considering
replacing the CFLs with the original incandescents.
