heat replacement effect must also be calculated when converting from traditional GLS to CFL lamps.

The label below shows the classification of a lightbulb's electrical consumption relative to a standard (GLS or incandescent) light bulb that produces the same amount of brightness (lumen).
Class A & B Energy savers fall in to these categories.
