Well, as far as the night stand lamp, I did get it replaced with another one, and it's been working fine. I guess the first one was a fluke?
I did find my biggest savings came from when I replaced the hot water heater. The previous owner had the temp setting up as high as it would go. On the new one, i have the two elements between 115-125. The first full month's bill was alot smaller.
But, that's a bit off topic of this thread. I'm comfortable enough now with these LED's, that I have one in each of the girl's rooms, our master bath over the tub, and of course both our night stands. I will continue to replace the others as I can, bit by bit, because of the initial cost.
Oh, and welcome aboard FredrickJenkins
