The concept of watts as a measure of luminescence never really made sense.

Why not get a real indication of output of the device instead of the

consumption of power? So the term Lumens should now be the only way we

speak about how well a bulb illuminates and not how much $$$ it costs me

for that same brightness.

Much like paint for a wall that is white, there are a few different shades

of white.
