LED Bulbs -- It's Time.

The time has come to switch to LED bulbs. As much as you might miss the warm light of incandescent, the reality is they burn too darn hot. We made the switch at home, every lightbulb replaced, and our electric bill went down about 30%. If you're in California, well, then you're one step ahead.

From a design point of view -- the closest match to incandescent are LED bulbs that are 2700k. Lumins will tell you how much light the bulbs put out. Watts are less relevant in LED land. In kitchens or workrooms you can go up to 3000k or so and the light will be whiter, cooler.
