About the same as fluorescents, I would guess. The Lancaster article shows
them as slightly more efficient, but the shape factor is less efficient for
rectangular tanks.

corners. IDK if others with experience with them agree or not. [I have
none.]

"LIBERTY" is a well-armed lamb denying enforcement of the vote.
