On 6/18/2005 10:33 AM or thereabouts, Paul A appears, somewhat
unbelievably, to have opined:

incandescents. Electrical consumption is rather substantially lower as
well, but we're not talking about a huge savings here. Maybe a couple of
bucks a year. .................................................. ......

I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.




Lets see : say 23 watts instead of 100 for 6 lights, perhaps 8 hours a day,
every day, $0.12 a KWH

(100-23)*6*8*365*.12/1000 = $161 a year. YMMV



Having not done the math . . . I stand corrected. Electricity is a bit
less around here, but the savings are still fairly substantial. Thanks
