illumination question

Does a hundred watt curly give off the same illumination as a regular bulb? Someone told my wife they didn't. I was about to start the conversion. I like my light when reading, tying, or wrapping.

The curly bulbs give more light per watt. A hundred watter is pretty bright. Ocean State Job Lot, 2bucks.

Just looked them up; an 18 watt curly bulb produces 75 watts of light. Compared to an incandescent bulb.

The ones I have listed what the actual bulb takes, i.e. 15 watt, and what it produces, i.e. 60 watt.

Walmart had the 4 packs on sale for around 10 bucks

I'm in the process of changing my interior.The most used lights in the house have all been replaced now its time to do the rest,especially all the recessed cans in the basement.

The outside lamps are going almost three years with the same bulbs.

Money is a great motivator.Need to save money for the upcoming shows!
