All our RV's 110AC and 12VDC and our homes are now fully lighted with LEDs inside and out and have been changed from mostly CFL's and a few incandescent and couple of sodium exterior security lights. The drop in the average monthly electric bills was astounding and a real eye opener! Same wattage LEDs and the same Lumens in the LED replacements and the light level is now even higher/brighter than before. Besides, it a clean light and most colors are brighter now. Only 2700K, 3000K, 5000K, and 6000K LEDs were used to replace the same or as close as possible the existing bulbs.
Bought all the LEDs on big sales and that saved a bundle. The payback is over $70/month on average in savings compared to what the average electric bill and KW's used for the same nearly a year of months period average so far with the same usage and hours of lights on in the 2 homes. We see a huge difference in the RV's % of battery drain also. It's been simply WIN WIN WIN! The change to LEDs has already paid for itself and more in less than a year so far and the savings will continue for years ahead every month per the average listed life as printed on the LED packages. Regardless, they have already paid for themselves already!!!
