[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2655522, member: 3371"] Best return on your investment is to start by replacing the bulbs that are used the most. I ieave the porch and garage face lights on all night, 365 days a yr. I started by swapping those out for led because the savings breaks even fastest on those. Besides, led works much better than cfl in cold weather anyway unless you buy the special cold cathode cfl bulbs and those cost nearly as much as led. It was after swapping those I replaced the floods in the 10' ceilings. In the bathroom I use the halogen bulbs that are in a standard base enclosure. I like the color rendition and they don't stay on that long in my house. They are about 10% more efficient than standard incandescent and have a longer life. The bulbs in the closets will always be the cheapest bulbs I can find. [/QUOTE]
