Sorry, but this kind of bunk drives me nutz. There is absolutely no way
that 60w=110w. If you put their bulbs on an integrating sphere you'll find that
they put out the exact same amount of light as "regular" bulbs. The trick
is that the hot spot produced by these lights *is* brighter, but by
taking away illumination from the edges. (Edge lighting's useful for
little things like corners, seeing deer at the side of the roadway, etc.)
Read all the technical details at

Now, why would you want to spend your money with a company that lies to
you and charges you a premium on top of it? :-)
Thanks, I feel better now.
