Well, this author has fallen into the trap of "the oft repeated canard." "One learning curve for consumers will be a change to the metric system after using the U.S. system of unit measurements. For LEDs, brightness is measured in lumens, not watts." http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/tech-industry/3400346/light-bulb-ban-leads-hoarding-in-europe-is-us-next/ Apparently watts have miraculously become "US units." The most trivial research, (looking at one box of lightbulbs) instead of plagarizing another article, would reveal that all boxes lightbulbs, regardless of type, have been labelled in watts, lumens and hours of life for years. I salute the demise of 0.134 HP bulb (or should it be 341 BTU/h?).
