Energy smart light bulbs?

Can someone explain these new energy smart light bulbs that are supposed to use less electricity.
specifically a 15 watt is suposed to equal a 60 watt?
Does that mean I can use a 26 watt bulb that say equals 100 watts in a lamp that says 60 watt max?

You are correct. The new tecnology allows for the same amount of light with 1/4 the amount of electricity. Which means that less electricity means less current which means less heat. So you are correct!!

Yes, you can use the 26W bulb in the 60W lamp.
