...and the math is real easy, Wayne, if one lives in an electrically-heated
house.

Sorry, I just can't resist ...
Wayne, that may be fine for your warm California weather, but for other
places the wattage benefit is not as great. Consider that, during cold
weather, the heating plant must now make up for those 234 watts no
longer being dissipated by the bulbs. :-)
Actually, we heat our home with geo-thermal energy and have a good solar
room, so for those with similar efficient heating systems, those lower
wattage lamps may create a good savings for both my electric bill and
the planet.
