LED lighting for the home

Who has made the leap to LED?

I have purchased a few locally, and have decided that I like them.
The light is pleasant enough, there is no lag time when they turn on, and they dim pretty well.

Just bought some lots of each style I need in the house, going to completely switch over.
I will be watching the meter closely, and waiting to calculate savings over time.
Anticipate a maximum of 2 months before the new lamps have paid for themselves.

On a side note... it can be a real eye opener when you actually count up the number of light bulbs in your house....
Over 30 spot lights
Equal number of bubble bulbs
About 25 of the e14 candle style...

Of course, I haven't even taken in to account the 2 dozen or so bulbs outside of the house....
Probably should have doubled down on the e27 bubbles....
