throw a cheap energy-monitoring plug-in module on 2 lights; one with regular & one with LED and you'll quickly see the difference. you can pick one up for $20 at home depot and return it when you're done playing.

you don't notice a difference because 95% of your electric bill is your damn HVAC trying to pull water and heat out of your air.

I hope these last a long time I'm sick of replacing bulbs every 3-6 months.

my hew house had so many damn lights (a zillion can lights, 18 floods, track lights, eyeballs, etc etc) and while we were moving in it seemed like 5 lights would burn out every day. once i swapped LEDs across the house, i haven't given a second thought to lights..its SO frickING NICE TO HAVE GOOD LIGHTS THAT DONT DIE EVERY THREE MONTHS



eta nothing drives cad crazier than chasing burned-out lights (well except amazon). it used to be like whack-a-mole. everytime i'd fix one, another would go out. i'd carry around that little egg carton of CFLs hunting for dead lights and it seemed like i bought a new 12-pack every other month.
