There are 7 15-watt bulbs that emit the light equivalent of an 80 watt incandescent bulb. In total, they consume about as much as a 105 Watt incandescent light bulb, so I don’t worry about flicking the switch and lighting up the backyard in the summertime.

I am confused. You're burning 105 Watts of power to get the equivalent of 80 Watt lightbulb? The math's off somewhere, there FRiend...unless that's 7 80 Watt lightbulbs you are replacing.

Can LED lightbulbs work with dimmer switches? I know the flourescents don't, but nobody seems to care.

I care and you are mistaken.

LOL...... I had to read it a couple of times but he’s using 7 of the 15 watt flourescents. Each 15 watt flourescent has a lumen output equivelant to an 80 watt incandescent. So he has 105 watts of flourescent giving the effect [lumen output] of 560 watts of incandescent....

Sorry. I noticed my omission after I posted it and hoped that I wouldn't get called on it... :-)

That should have read:

There are seven 15-watt bulbs, each of which emits the light equivalent of an 80 watt incandescent bulb.
