Good information, thanks for posting. I've had two LED's (the 6x6 square ones replacing the 1141s) in my TC for several years now and love them. One over the sink, another over my bed used as a reading light.
I also installed three Cold Cathode Florescents (one over the door as an exterior light, one in the bathroom, and a double tube one over the dinette). Those were advertised as using just 0.16 amps, but after installing a Trimetric meter I discovered that in practice they use about 0.35 amps, or 0.7 for the double tubes, while the LEDs use about 0.2 each. Either way, they're both much more efficient than incandescents.
