Jim we took the cheapies and put them in all the closet fixtures and anything that didn't get used all the time, figuring we'd still save on electricity and get decent light in the closets, hallways, washroom, basement etc. All of the bedrooms have ceiling fans in them and I too could see the meter spinning with 240 watts of power on each one plus the fan...now it's 96 watts and that's a pretty major improvement just for one fixture....and like you say the bulbs look pretty decent not stupidly huge like the old one's did. I was surprised at some of the wattages in some of the fixtures. Some even got a net increase in light, we used one bulb in the kitchen eating area that gave us significantly more light we were both impressed and went from 100 to 23 watts.
