Remember that a CFL that has say a 15 watt label on it does not draw 15 watts but instead draws closer to 23 watts, plug it in to a kill-a-watt meter and see for your self, then look very closely at the base of the CFL and you will almost always find a amp rating, multiply the amp rating by 120 volts and you will get a higher wattage then it should be.
LED's do not have this labeling issue.
