No, I bought it on amazon and it shipped from Carolina cages. I'm using a zoomed hood, so not sure if the reflectivity is low for that unit. The numbers are not too far off for an unreflected bulb.

It's possibly the hood. You're right, the numbers you're getting are about right for not using a reflector and putting it through a screen so the meter is probably OK. It may be worth picking up a new fixture/reflector and see if that brings things up to par. Maybe try a Sunblaster NanoTech that is the correct size for your bulb and see if that makes the difference.
