No, you didn't misread.  Sometimes stated CFL wattage equivalents do 
NOT match lumens produced.  I have two different sets of CFLs both 
rated as 60 watt equivalent, but with different lumen ratings (and 
different actual wattage).  It may just be rounding to nearest 10, or 
something else, I don't know.

Thank You Kindly,
