Hello Everyone
I would like to replace my under-cabinet halogen bulbs, which produce a good deal of heat. Currently I have 25 watt G8 bulbs, 3000k, and 240 lumens. I seem to only be able to find 20 watt, 3000k, 160 lumen bulbs. I understand that LEDs save electricity, and last longer. I understand that watts aren't a good way to compare, but everything I've read says lumens is a fair comparison. Maybe it's not as noticeable as the numbers would suggest, but I feel I am going to notice the difference between 160 and 240? Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks.
