Forgive me if this chart doesn't paste below in simple format.
I'm confused on the candle-power numbers between the GE/Tungsram-catalog & the Candlepower Inc reference chart that I rely on being accurate.
Regarding the GE Nighthawk 3457 often recommended here as the best/brightest 3457 bulb;
I am confused of what I'm reading in the GE/Tungsram catalog.
- Is this a misprint at 30/2.2cp???????
- I thought ALL 3457 bulbs were 40cp/3cp?????
I've also included the specs to the similar wedge-bulbs for comparison......
