We've been slowly replacing bulbs all over the house with LEDs. We have
the "globe" style of bulbs in a couple of the bathrooms. The LED
versions are much nicer; better colors, instant on, and they should last
the rest of my life.
We also recently replaced a couple of recessed florescent fixtures in
the kitchen with six recessed (can-type) LED lights. The flourescents
always gave the kitchen a kind of "green" tinge, and the combined power
consumption was ~~ 160 watts. With the LEDs the color is more "human",
the combined power consumption is ~~ 54 watts (6 * 9 watts), total light
output seems to be twice what we had before, they come on "right now",
AND we can now dim the lights for even lower power consumption.
We've replaced the florescent lights (in the kitchen) at least twice in
the years we've lived here, and I expect the LEDs will go the duration.
Our outdoor lights are also slowly switching over. Way less power.

Anyone using LED replacement bulbs in their house yet?
Seems like a good idea for a couple lights I have that burn 24/7, but at
$20/bulb and the CFL debacle, I want to get this right the first time.
