I have a very expensive degree in lighting and electrical science, I know what I'm talking about!

And you really should quit with the stupid colors and ridiculously large text, you're annoying everybody with that too.

42 watt= 2700 lumens:::150 watt(incand)= 2700 lumens
That is what I said.

Expensive degree and NO COMMON SENSE!

About my text and color, If you don't like it Don't read it!!!!!
