What Watt?

CFLs use less power to create the same amount of light so below you will see the wattage comparison and also the lifetime savings for the various sizes of bulbs. Hopefully this info will help you decide which wattage best fits your needs.

INCANDESCENT   CFL equivalent   Lifetime Savings
40 watt                     9-11 watt               $15-20
60 watt                    13-17 watt              $25-30
75 watt                    18-20 watt              $30-35
100 watt                  23-26 watt              $40-45
150 watt                  32-42 watt              $60-70

Now think about just how many light bulbs you have around your house, inside and out. Don't forget the garage and basement. The savings can really add up!
