Hi folks,
My wife and son just bought a new lamp shade for his room, it has a 60W max.
I thought I'd have to buy a new 60W equivelent energy saving dimmable to replace his 100W equivelent energy saving dimmable. But it dawned on me it's a heat thing isn't it? I mean his bulb isn't 100W anyway. It's a lot less.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that if a shade says 60W max it means that, not 60W equivelent max.
Is this right?
