It's just a matter of choice. BTW...how much are you paying for the 15 watt bulbs?
Thanks

Heat was the #1 reason why I switched out, to me they weren't that bright at 60 or 69 watt

They are good in the winter time though when you are looking for a little warmth in the room. That's when I will switch them to regular traffic signal bulbs.

I bought the 15 watt 20,000 hour bulbs for about $2.50 each at 1000bulbs.com

that's high. I can get 25w bulbs for under a dollar at Atlanta bulbs. of course it depends if you're doing one signal or a few intersections worth.
