I was recently looking at a web site that sells LED's and instead of giving specs for them, color temp and lumin output they compared them to Incandescent light bulbs of varying wattages, granted I grew up with solar panels, wind power, I now own two electric cars, and am the type of person reads owners manuals and who wants to know how many lumins my light bulb is.
Looking back20 years ago when my parent bought first screw in florescent bulb remember it gave off a greenish light, was not exactly compact and I'm pretty sure that they spent as much on that CFL as I did on my first screw in LED (1 watt, 35 lumins) when screw in LED's first came to market.
Now I've bought many CFL's and a handful of LED's over the years but I'm almost 30 years old I realize I've never bought a "standard" light bulb and most likely never will.
