[Greenbuilding] Philips L-Prize Lamp

[Paul Eldridge]

Hi Richard,

The two wall washers, the coach lights that flank the front entrance and 
the post light that illuminates the walkway steps total 25.4-watts and 
provide just enough light to safely make your way to the front door 
without risking life and limb.

BTW, replacing the two CFLs previously used for wall washing offsets all 
of our day-to-day interior requirements.  That includes:

_Kitchen_:  1 x 5-watt LED strip above kitchen sink
_Dinning Room_:  2 x 3-watt BA11s in picture lights and 2 x 2.5-watt 
BA11s in buffet lamps
_Front Foyer_:  2 x 2.5-watt BA11s in table lamp
_Living Room_:  2 x 9.7-watt A19 in table lamps
_Home Office_:  1 x 9.7-watt A19 in table lamp and 2 x 3-watt BA11s in 
picture lights
_Media Room_:  1 x 8-watt A19 in table lamp

And with a few more watts to spare I might add (just my way of giving 
old Jevon the middle finger).

To give you a better sense of the amount of light produced by these BA11 
lamps, I took the following picture in a room with a good amount of 
daylight.  As noted above, the picture light is 3-watts and the two 
buffet lamps are 2.5-watts each.

The picture below is a close-up of the two lamps.  The one on the left 
is a 3-watt blunt tip and the one on the right, a 2.5-watt flame tip 
(the 2-watt BA11s used in the exterior fixtures are similar to the one 
shown on the left).
