I know we've talked about this before, but I wondered if there were any updated experiences.
We still run incandescents in most rooms, including the ones where lights are on the most.
Thinking that the market has moved since the last time I did the sums, I've run a spreadsheet up. Looking at prices online, it seems to me that:
a) We would end up with a light that is perceptibly different
b) I would save, over three years, just under a fiver a month using the cheapest (and probably nastiest) LEDs from Hong Kong via eBay. That saving is the best I'm likely to get therefore.
It therefore hardly seems worth it financially, but I'd be interested if my supposition that the light would "feel" different is still valid, or whether newer alternative LED/CFL units do now give a feeling similar to the older incandescents?
What have you done in your house, and was it the right choice?
