[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 523061, member: 6786"] Today, I had a group come through my house to replace all light bulbs with LED equivalents for free in accordance with the VEET Act under the Victorian Energy Upgrade program. Of all the different globes in my house & shed (including spot lights) there was only 2 different globes that they couldn't replace. The cost of all 42 replacement globes (of all sizes) was around $224, and this is fully offset by my signing ownership over to them of energy saving Certificates. I was happy with the outcome - reduced electricity costs and old bulbs to be actually recycled (how - I'm not sure). Estimate 200W total difference for 4 hours at night = 0.8kW.hr per day at 41c/kWhr (off peak) = $0.33 per day or $120/year. The new ones have a warranty of 10 years, and life of approximately 20 years (at 3 hrs/day), although they do lose a little brightness (<10%) after 10 years. I'll be around to hold them to that! Anyone else been through this, and how did you fare? [/QUOTE]
