Some high power LED reach more than 120 lm/w.  if one area is lit with a 60 watt incandescent bulb and you have enough light bulb sockets available, about 2-4 of the 3 watt light bulbs would give the same amount of light(lumen). 6- 12 watts vs. 60 watts of useable is a considerable savings.

3. Life Span. Life span of incandescent bulb is about 1,500 hours. Normal CFLs reach 6, 000 hours. LED Bulb is up to 50,000 hours, which are over 30 times to incandescent bulb.
