I have taken a look at this over the past few years and have been watching the market and evolution of the bulbs for a while.

You can cut lighting consumption by 90% by going to all LED bulbs. However, they are just now starting to introduce better, warmer lighting 'color" and it is not perfect...yet. I think that over the next 2 years you should see a drastic drop in price for the bulbs, a better color rendition from them and a more robust "spreading of the light output from the bulb. Once this happens, I will jump in.

I am going to purchase several sets of commercial Christmas lights next season. I am not impressed by the Home Depot specials, but places like Planet Christmas have some links to some really good companies selling some nice stuff. Putting those lights up for the holidays will save some decent dollars for me, again about 90% of my normal "seasonal" increase.

Anyway, that's my limited knowledge dump.
