The wattage is the *same* for the bulbs that I've got.
What is the light output in lm for LED vs CFL of the (assumed) same wattage?
They both claim to be 800 lumens.
I just checked the packaging and turns out that I mis-remembered. The LEDs are 11w, but the CFLs are actually 13w. So, the LEDs are slightly more efficient for the same (alleged*) brightness.
*The CFLs look a bit dimmer to me than the LEDs do.
The Cree 800 Lumen bulbs are only 9.5W, which is why I bought those. That's a more substantial difference from 13-15W CFLs. Their 100W (1600 lumen) bulbs are 18W, IIRC. There are 20W "100W equivalent" CFLs but they produce less than 1600 lumens.
