Compact Flourescent Lamps (CFLs) have a God-awful power factor. The short of this is that a 12W CFL will actually draw about 24W from the mains; however your meter will only measure 12W.
But the generating companies will have to generate the 24W. Don't worry, they will put up the price of every Wh to compensate.
