Have a 3-60W bulb kitchen fixture that was failing bulbs well before they
should have died--heat was the problem. Put in two 23 W new fluorescent
screw-in lamps (equiv to 100 W) and what a difference. Runs much cooler
with significantly more light. Left in one 60W bulb. Now have Lumens equal
to 260W (vs. 180) while actually using 106W. Thinking of replacing the
remaining 60W bulb except that it might be too bright now. g

My kitchen fixture is a 2-60W unit. Wound up replacing one, sometimes
both each month. Switched to the fluorescent lamps over a year ago.
Haven't touched it since.
