How long does it take to break even?
(Save enough on utilities to pay for the conversion)
Good question. But in the long run it saves on both electric cost and the cost of buying lamps. Incandescent lamps burn out much more quickly than LED lamps. Similarly, I changed my outdoor lights to CFLs more than a few years ago and haven't had to replace them yet. I was replacing halogen lamps more than once a year. So beside the utility cost saving and the cost of buying new lamps, I don't have to get up on ladders very much these days to change lamps.
