One of my buddies has LED downlights in his bathroom - by the time you can actually see properly, you've left the room...

They save him a lot of money in energy costs for sure

In other news, we have CFL's thoughout the house - all from GE. I've never known such a shortlived bulb ever. I've had 13 replacements from GE so far, as they've lasted a fraction of the warranty period...

Does anyone have experience using LED's for flood lights? I have several can lights in the house that I would love to replace, at least 20 or so. I never seem to find a good deal on LED floods though.

OP: The code for the Collection Light Bulbs should be EMCNEGJ227.

Thanks for the tip!

The 60W says 3000k in the description. Is there another source somewhere that says it's 6000k?

You know, I swapped out about 50 bulbs in my house with the low power CFL.

I expected at least a $5 a month drop in electrical costs due to this.

Assumptions, you are not using all 50 everyday, therefore let say average of all 50 bulbs used for 0.1 hour everyday.

50 bulbs * .1 (hr) each * 60W * 30days = 9000Kwh, 10cent/KHW = costs 90cents
50 bulbs * .1 (hr) each * 13W * 30days = 1950Kwh, 10cent/KHW = costs 19 cents

You should see a difference of 71 cents

I think your math is a little low...That comes out to having 1 bulb on for only 5 hours a day, which unless you live in a 300sf studio, isn't realistic. I think most people, especially in the winter, have 10-20 bulbs on from 5pm-9pm (Think living room, outdoor lights, hall ways, kitchen, bedroom, bathrooms....). And most people use lights in the morning. I personally have 4 outdoor security lights that average 12 hours a day...so that's 48 hours right there. Anyways...

If you do it with 20 bulbs for 4 hours, that's 20*4*30*60= 144Kwh at 10cent is $14.10 a month. If you change to CFL saving you 60%, you have a monthly savings of ~$8.00

Check your nearby HD for EcoSmart Downlight from Cree. Not just replacing the light, the kit will replace the whole can to prevent any draft from ceiling. My kitchen looks fantastic after I installed 6 of them. The price may vary depending on state rebates on these lights. I have $25 near me.

Simple installation

Costco had similar LED bulbs for $7. Scored one to give it a try and it works well. Hooked to motion sensor switch in the bathroom so the kids don't leave the light on.

Do they sell 100 watt versions of these? I would love to replace some bulbs that I have on dimmer switches.

borgified said:   The motion sensor switch probably uses more power than the LED light .

And kids flush the toilet a lot.

NOTPC said:   4 pack regular good ole light bulbs 89 cents ,,,,,14 dollars for a light bulb is INSANE !!!!!!!!!!but i encourage you to buy them as there will be more "good bulbs for me to buy so i have a lifetime supply for ma and my famly,,and can sell the rest on eBay for a hefty profit when everyone comes to their senses lol

Thanks...updated the OP.

These will not be cool to the touch. They won't be nearly as hot as incandescent, but 7W in a package that size means it will heat up.

Also, my 60W equivalent Philips L Prize bulb is 920 lumens. 550 isn't even 40W equivalent.

In short, if you buy these LED bulbs, you'll probably end up being one of those people who says "I tried LED bulbs, they suck".

Also, the CRI isn't listed on these bulbs, so you can be pretty sure it stinks.

I will still hold off until LED becomes cheaper. CFL will work fine for now.

NOTPC said:   i cant wait till the incandessent light bulb ban is reversed after the nov elections.....

Incandescent bulbs have not been banned. The energy efficiency requirements have been increased. Any incandescent bulb meeting or exceeding the requirements will still be available.

Following your logic, internal combustion powered cars have been banned. Toilets must have been banned, as well.

Your house's wiring is probably wacked. Fix the wiring or buy more expensive CFLs that can withstand noisy/spikey power.

Or you're buying crap bulbs. I had plenty of Lights of America bulbs go. While my IKEA, nVision, Panasonic and others have been great.

For those in the Puget Sound Energy area, McLendon has a 2-pk Greenlite 40W equivalent (450 lumens 3000K) for $5.99 after instant PSE rebate. That comes to $3/bulb. Price good through June 3rd. Limit 6 2-pk per visit.
