I do not mean that. I’m not using a marketing terminology, just straight English.
Look how intense the average flourescent is compared to the average incandescent.
I’m looking at the flourescents over my desk right now, and I can look at them without huring my eyes. When I look at an incandescent it leaves a green spot behind, so it looks to me like the incandescents have a higher intensity per unit ares, but the fluorescents have a lot greater area so they put out more lumens per watt.
