Already on the way. I went on an LED light bulb binge, which required me to go back to college and get another degree.

April

2012 - $139.87
2013 - $122.61
2014 - $80.25

Big test will be summer months. Between lighting changes and AC, I expect a huge difference.

Expect it to go from 35%-40% on the high side... :whistle:

I'm sure it'll be pretty a nice savings. Where'd you get the LED bulbs from? I've been interested in them for awhile, but the prices haven't come down to my liking yet.

I see em on eBay for very nice prices, not sure of the quality though. You can get the Chinese bulbs for like $4 or $5 a pop, whereas they sell them locally for $15+. Have you tried any of the Chinese bulbs?

No... Stuck with name brand... Last thing I need is my house burning down... :(
 
99% of the LED bulbs are china made, Cree has really pushed the price points down, Rumor is Cree will be releasing 4 foot led replacements for flourcent bulbs before year end
 
Home Depot. Cree for some of them, and then EcoSmart for the rest. They had a bunch of DTE-subsidized bulbs on sale for between $8 and $15 when I bought them. The $8 bulbs were pretty much a no brainer, but the problem for me is Cree only makes soft white or daylight, and that nuclear daylight is intolerable. I bought ecosmart bright white which is mid temp for the kitchen, but those are now double the price for some reason. If you use a certain light a lot, an $8 LED pays off very quickly.

The brightness is pretty weak on the cheap bulbs. I need them to make a $7 100w equivalent and we'll be all set. I do have a ton of BR20 50w spotlights throughout my house, so that made a big difference.
