LEDs use, on average, half the wattage of fluorescents for the same light output.
Summer before last I remodeled the street level lobby of a 43 story skyscraper. During the previous remodel a lot of fluorescent lights were combined on one circuit. When I got there and started looking things over, that 20 amp breaker was running hot and would trip if you just touched the lever. After i got done replacing everything with LEDs it ran nice and cool and no problems. Fluorescents, even the new T5s, lose light output much more rapidly over their lifespan than LEDs. Plus LEDs typically work much better in cold temps. I can see no reason why anyone would willingly install fluorescent lights any more.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
