What compact fluorescent light bulb do I buy to replace an incandescent bulb? In other words, which wattage of CFL do I use to replace a specific wattage of incandescent?

Suan,

Use the following simplified conversions:

Code:

Incandescent      CFL
40W               = 10W 
60W               = 13-15W
75W               = 20W
100W              = 26-29W
150W              = 38-42W
250-300W          = 55W

I got that off of the GE website at http://www.gelighting.com/na/home_lighting/ask_us/faq_compact.htm#difference

Best,
Patricia
