So far, I"m getting the equivalent of 75w incandescent light out of
one 8.5W LED lamp.

The URL/ ad that you quoted said:

Stock Code: ETI-520163MD
8.5 Watt - LED Light Bulb - Omni-Directional A19 - 3000K Warm White - 600 Lumens - 50 Watt Equal

They advertise it a 50 watt equivalent but you are saying it's the same
as 75 watts. If it really is close to 75, one would think they would not
be shy and call it 75.

Are you actually measuring the lumen output or just "eyeballing" it? Do
you have higher than 'normal' line voltage?

Not pickin' on ya, D.P. It's just that inquiring minds want to know why
the difference. :-)
