You'll need 15-18w for genuine equivalence

Nowhere. The manufacturers claims are rubbish. One thing to note is that the lying scum compare the output of their useless, poisonous, planet-destroying lightbulbs with "Softone" (i.e. painted all over so that they hardly let any light through) bulbs, not "pearl" bulbs. Even then, the lying scum tell enormous pork pie lies.
In the USA, they are prohibited from claiming equivalence greater than
3x the actual wattage of the CFL and there are moves to reduce that to 2x. Hence a CFL equivalent to a 60W bulb must be 20W or greater in the USA. Here they can put on whatever rubbish they choose to make us, so it's common to see 15W or lower CFLs claimed to be "equivalent" to a 60W bulb.
