There's been some recent commentary concerning those screw-base
fluorescent conversion units. Does anybody know:

1) What is the "incandescent equavalent" light output? None that I've seen
mention it.

2) What is the economic payback time, including initial purchase?

3) Do they hum, buzz, or do other antisocial fluorescent type things?
