I know for a fact that it is a labeling game but if you want to spend extra on lamps labeled 120w go ahead.
I agree,its like Cosmolux and Wolff lamps.Both are made in Canada at Sylvanias plant.Made by the same equipment with nearly identical specs.I did my research and will never pay for a cosmo lamp when the wolffs are always cheaper

Another example of overcharging and relabelling the same lamp.
