The "200W equivalent" puts out 2800 lumens; a real 200W bulb puts out 3600 lumens. That's 23% less light. After the incandescent ban, I'm going to have to buy more lamps.)HeatherRadishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200373266300186422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-37169509308835901172008-11-21T07:39:00.000-06:002008-11-21T07:39:00.000-06:00Apples to oranges here, but a year ago Chicago com...Apples to oranges here, but a year ago Chicago community organizers made a huge stink about an Indiana BP refinery dumping mercury in Lake Michigan.
