Hi Rimmer, I made the changes myself according to the literature from Dr. Meerow. We do our best to represent the most accurate and up to date information according to the literature, and you can see that we cited the Meerow et al. 2000 paper at the top of each of the pages. Many of the websites and sellers of these bulbs still call them by their old name that contribute to the continuing confusion.
