Interesting, never heard that. Still a 55w bulb at 12.8vdc theoretically draws 4.3 amps and at 80 watts and 13.8vdc it would draw 5.8 amps. Clearly not just Flosser playing semantics, but I'm very curious to see how they end up comparing anyhow. The Philips extreme power bulbs I have in there are about 7 years old now, but after the relay upgrade they really are working very well. Just need to have an evening where I have time to do a nice side-by-side comparision.
