Abstract
The luminosity of the central stars planetary nebulas near the galactic center is discussed. The distance to these objects is quite well known, removing the most common source of uncertainty in luminosity determinations. The resulting luminosities are compared to theoretical models and to empirical determinations from nearby nebulas using different methods
