I think I've replaced 42 light bulbs, some incandescent, some CFL, with LED bulbs in the last couple of weeks at a cost of about $347. Some are from Home Depot (Cree), some from Walmart, and 6 from Amazon, com. I tried LED bulbs in my Liftmaster garage door opener and they didn't work; wouldn't come on at all. But our master bath has a fixture (strip?) over the mirror that has 6 bulbs, 2" clear globes with chandelier bases. I've not been able to find any LEDs locally at any price, and the ones I've found on the Internet are $14.41 to $25 EACH!
I see lots of talk about leaving lights on in this thread, and I've kidded by wife for years, telling her that the light swtiches work both ways, not just ON. She's finally started turning some lights off, but one day a week is her house cleaning day and that day she starts by going through the house turning on every switch there is, THEN she starts dusting, vacuuming, and mopping. And not a light is turned off until she finishes. I've asked her why she doesn't do one room at a time, and she really doesn't have an answer. But I ain't gonna complain because she does a pretty good job.:laughing:
