With incandescent lamps there is a trade off between efficiency and lamp life.

A hotter filament gives a brighter/more efficient light but shortens the life.

The best manufacturers manage to get a good combination of life and light output but they are still struggling with the laws of physics.

Would it be possible for the Mods to post a list of definitions of all the different abbreviations used? I can work out some of them, but many pass me by. Pretty please :-? :-? :-?

The only one I can not find is SWMBO I am assuming it is something to do with women.
