I was at target yesterday and i was looking at the Inova XO3. The newer 5.8 watts model and im wondering if it is even close to its claimed 135 lumens on the package. Inova has been known to fluff their lumen ratings a little bit in the past.

If it says that it's 5.8 watts, it's most likely the older 80 lumen version. The newer ones state the lumens on the packaging, not the watts.

Ok i see now. They have a mixture of old and new there. Some say 5.8 watts and some say 135 lumens. So are the ones saying 135 lumens really 135 lumens?

i believe the newer models are rated correctly by inova. in the integrating sphere thread there is a T1 (08 model) that tested as 100 OTF lumens, dead on what it's rated at
