Lower powered mains lamps certainly didn't last well in the lighting display when I worked in Woolies. The number of 15W lamps I had to replace every Saturday was astounding. I'm pretty sure that we used around 10:1 ourselves compared to sales. However can you imagine the heat if we'd been using 60W to save the cost of the replacements, and even the effect on the electricity bill.
