RMinVa : The BIL changed them all at once. So my sister was able to just go by the electric saved compared to the previous bill. (She did this for a year and compared it to several years average) It was not very much. They have a real new home that is well built and insulated well.
She says the electric saved each month is less than $20. The BIL spent close to 4K on changing everything over. He had to replace some of the light fixtures completely as they would not work with the LEDs he found. He also found that the life quoted on the LEDs was way too optimistic. He had several of the lights that did not last six months. Some where warrantied but several where not.
I did not do any of the switching so I am just going off of what she told me. I have not even been to her home since they switched lighting 2-3 years ago.
I am sure the cost has come down since then too. My main point is the saving is really small compared to the cost. We can not save our way to energy Independence. We have to have proven, reliable sources of economical energy. That is the only way this country has a chance to ever prosper again. Wind, solar, and the others are just pipe dreams at the current levels of technology.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
