So. Flo.
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......

That rating seems to be for an amber bulb, unless I'm mistaken.

Interesting catalog, that 2020 Tungsram.

For example, it gives the 9003 NHX MSCP as 119/72, while the H4 NHX is at 131/80 MSCP...

edit - 13.2 vs 12.8?
