Good points all. Less lumens per watt from a lamp using a
coiled bulb. Plus the heat is concentrated in a smaller
area so myou might have hood heating issues if your hood is
plastic -- I've seen melts from using the coiled bulbs.



I'm using two 23 watt spirals in an old incandescent plastic hood with no
problem.
