Correction – Dec. 30, 2011

The Geek Chic column in the Dec. 16 issue incorrectly reported that compact fluorescent light bulbs use 25 percent less power than an equivalent incandescent bulb. Compact fluorescents use 25 percent of the power used by an equivalent incandescent. Also, if each household in the U.S. replaced a single 60-watt incandescent with a 7-watt LED, the country would save 23,600 megawatts per day.
