I was under the impression people in your area simply wired themselves to the street lighting

I use LED's and CFL's throughout my house. I only have one incandescent bulb in the house and that is a tri-light. As soon as that one goes out I will be replacing it with LED.
So far I have had good luck with LED, but a word of caution, IF your hydro power fluctuates constantly then the LED's won't last too long.
