Led bulbs
« on: September 03, 2015, 03:37:20 AM »
I have been keeping track of my electricity usage for the last 4 months since changing a lot of my lightbulb to LEDs.    Haven't seen any decrease at all. As a matter of fact I have had to replace 3 of them after only four months of use.

What were you using before? If regular ole incandescence then you should see some savings.

I’ve started to replace fluorescents in the shop with LEDS, like the instant on no matter how cold.

Yes changed out the old incandescents,   No change in Bill or kWh.
