right, the question is more "should i base my light fixture usage by watts,
not lumens?" right now i use a normal 60 watt bulb. but can i get one of
the new ones that uses less than 60 watts, but puts out more light than a
normal sixty watt bulb?" make sense/

The new ones aren't actually rated at 60 watts. Instead they are rated
at 15 watts with a statement that they give light equivalent to a 60
watt bulb.

Since their big advantage is that they use less electricity, it's
unlikely t hey will ever be labeled as using more electricity than
they use.

it uses less wattage, much
lower than 60.
