Well, if you really want to go for, all of those products already exist. Costco sells all sorts of LEDs, even ones that look like florescent shop light. And of course, just use mr. google to find just the replacement bulbs themselves for just about anything.
Going green is commendable, but...
There is a common term called ROI - Return on Investment. How long will it take to get your money back on the money spent.
Here in PNW, we pay roughly 10 cents a KW hour. You run an appliance that draws 1000 watts for 1 hour, you pay 10 cents.
Lets say your new bulb for the inside of your fridge draws 30 watts now, about what those little bulbs draw. You put in an LED that draws 5. You saved 25 watts every time you open the door. We'll say that single LED bulb ran you $5.
Now--
It saved you 25watt-hours.
Each Kilowatt hour costs $0.10
You paid $5
At $0.10/KWH, you need to save 50,000 watt-hours to break even.
At a draw savings rate of 25 watts per hour, you need to run that bulb (with the fridge door open) for 2,000 hours to get your ROI.
Hopefully you won't leave the door open on your fridge for 2,000 hours....
Now if you REALLY want to save money on your power bill, focus on things that produce heat-- I just bought a brand new heat-pump hybrid water heater for my house. An average water heater uses a pair of 5,000 watt heating elements. This draws 2/3s less to heat the same amount of water because it uses a heat pump.
