Light Output Equivalency Table

This table will prove useful when replacing your old incandescent light bulbs with more energy efficient CFL bulbs; take note of the difference in wattages!  This information should also be included on the package of the CFL you are purchasing.

CFL's use 75 percent less energy than a traditional incandescent bulb, and last up to 10 times longer...why NOT switch??
