I just bought a couple of those energy saving fluorescent bulbs for my

home.
You know the ones that screw into regular incandescent sockets. They say a
13 watt bulb is equivalent to a 60W regular bulb.

A couple of questions arose in my mind.

1. Has anyone ever tried using these bulbs for aquarium lighting?

2. If one were to use one of these 13W bulbs which claim are equivalent to
60 W incandescent bulbs what value would you use to calculate the WPG?

Your comments appreciated.
