Brightness is in the eye of the beholder!
To make the claim your CFL's make they probably do put out the same
number of lumens.
But the spectra may not match what you expect or how your home
furnishings are colored.
Another person might have different colored furnishings and walls... and
have different color perception in their eye.
Try a different CFL with a different color temperature or higher CRI
(color rendition). It might seem "brighter" to you in your environment.
