Many of the newer post lights take three 25 watt bulbs. I did not do the calculations myself, but was told this was correct by one of the head Electricians who troubleshoots all electrical problems in the Premier homes. Sometime when I get the time I will calculate this myself.

Bottom line is that the LED bulbs, (on sale at Target this week) are much cheaper long term. Three 4 watt bulbs are much cheaper then 3 25 watt bulbs that folks seem to have to replace more then once a year...sometimes more often. With how long the LED bulbs seem to last, it is a good bet that most folks will never have to replace them once installed.
