I have very mixed feelings about LED lighting in my apartment. Currently, to sum it in an easy phrase, putting LEDs in my place would be about like buying a new truck to squeeze that extra 3-4 miles of fuel economy: it won't pay off well enough.

I've done the math numerous times, and everything I can calculate mostly suggests that the real long-term savings is more closely related to the ever-rising price of energy rather than the efficiency and life expectancy of the lighting. Not even going as far as to mention the fact that most people's power bills are largely made up of appliances, heating, and cooling; not lighting.

If and when the price drops, like it did for CFLs, I will further investigate the possibility of upgrading.
