    That is marked as the equivalent I would say, so probably 11watts or maybe 14w model but the 11w are far more common

    Re the "75W" thing Solus put the lumens on their ordinary bulbs and their energy efficient bulbs have 4 times the lumens of their ordinary ones. But they , like everyone else, still claim a factor of 5 in all their advertising.

    I'll see if I can find lumens for other ordinary bulbs where the ratio is actually 5:1 but I'm guessing the marketing gimps of all manufacturers are liars.
