ok well, now I'm confused again! (not that it takes much to confuse me!) This bulb http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=296889-371-60055&lpage=none says it's 60 watt but only uses 15 watts. HUH????? My tank instructions said not to use more than a 25 watt bulb because of risk of fire. So would this bulb be ok? I don't understand when it says it's a 60 watt but only uses 15 watts. To me that makes NO sense. Someone smarter than me about light bulbs please clear my confusion!
15 watts CFL = 60 watts incandescent...basically its more energy efficient. Go by the actual wattage (15).
ok, thanks, i'll trust in your electrical know how! i'm off to the hardware store!
Hah, I'm not all that great when it comes to electricity.
well you helped me so you're aces in my book! I give you five stars! (or how about smiley faces?)
