oh yes for sure, I have been searching for costs comparisons to see how long it will take to see it in the savings but basically the avg existing bulbs last 5 years where as the LED's last 20 years. Factor in the power savings and I imagine within 10 years, maybe even less you see that money recouped.
I sell Landscape lighting and I have a cool little calculator that shows the cost savings between incandescent lighting vs LED. On low voltage landscape lighting (12v) on a 20 fixture landscape if you factor in the cost of power (avg .11/kwh) used and bulb replacement you see the cost savings recouped within 10 years.
Should mention these are specification grade lighting, $175 per fixture so if you used even less expensive fixtures you would see savings sooner.
