If I am reading Amazon and eBay right,,,
The Fluorescent T8 bulbs use 32 watts
the LED uses either 22 watts or 28 watts
The 22 watt LED gives less lumens of light than a fluorescent, the 28 watt gives more lumens,,
So, it looks like the LED will end up using about 85% as much electricity, as the old bulbs,,,
So, there is some savings,,, in electricity, the big savings will be the bulbs will last WAY longer,,
