One thing I like to point out is that Incandescent bulbs can be 100% efficient in your home in a cold climate. This is because all the heat losses simply heat your home.
Over all though the LED bulbs can make a noticeable difference in your electric bill. Some of them last for years and others not so long because of those cheap power supplies in the base of the bulb. I don’t see congress regulating those.
ANOTHER ANNOYANCE:
Bulbs now-—for some years—have been made with aluminum bases-—and the sockets are also aluminum.
Used to be that at least one was brass.
Because I had bulbs die & then were STUCK so badly that I had real trouble removing them to switch, I NOW spray the bulb base with “DRY SILICONE” to make them slip back out safely.

Most lights are at the ceiling where the heat is wasted, if I’m going to spend a 100 watts (85 subtracting the led replacement) of electricity I would rather put that 100 watts (85) exactly where I want the heat, like aimed at me.
