I saw your post earlier and thought maybe there is some way to have an adjustment layer in fcp. Then I googled it and here it is, great stuff :)

Just found a way to use an adjustment layer in FCPX, used it with VisionColor LUT-s and renders much faster this way. Also you can make your primary corrections directly on the clip and put LUT on the layer. Here is the link for the custom made adjustment layer: http://www.rippletraining.com/using-the-adjustment-layer-title-in-final-cut-pro-x.html
 
Really like these ImpulZ LUT-s by the way

All I can think of is that the bulb is dimmed or lower wattage, maybe some milky coating on the glass. Probably someone has a better explanation.
Edit: Also I suppose that everything is placed further away from the black background, so light from the bulb doesn't spill on the background.

How did I let myself to become a fanboy, I'm going now to throw myself under the train and that's on you.
