I know from a previous post that a certain Administrator converted over to LED lights in his house.  Now there are some affordable options out there. 

Linkie:

They run about $15/pk for the light bulbs at my local Sam's.  They carry indoor floods, standard bulbs and candelabra bulbs.

More good LED news!

http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/did-the-led-industry-hit-the-tipping-point-today/

The 60watt bulb is the most widely used bulb around, great starting point.

All the best,

Aaron Lephart

I was using IE8. 

I did find that bulb at the Home Depot, but it is still a little dim for my liking.  It seems to me that once they get a 60 watt equivalent, they will be at the same wattage as the current CFL's 60 watt equivalent.  I think I will wait to try them until they get the price down a bit.

OK I bought about 5 Feit brand A19 style LED bulbs from LOWES for $17.97 each. They are compareable to 60w standard bulbs but use only 6.5w. So far I like them. I am not expecting them to effect the electric bill much. The Brammo is drawing alot of juice!

All the best,

Aaron Lephart
