I like light. Anything less than a 75 watt incandescent is a night light. I’ll probably end up converting to 100-150 watt flood lamps.

I've found that the 150-watt equivalent CFL bulbs give off about the same light as a regular 100-watt incandescent one.

It uses about 23 watts, which saves on the electric bill in comparison, but not as much as what the greenies claim.

I have learned, though, not to look at the equivalency claims, but to look at the listed ‘lumen’ levels and compare that to the regular bulbs.
