Depends on the price of the lamp, I would say. If the bulk of the costs were in the bulb, the lamp becomes disposable.

And most of the lights that are used are either dimmed or flourescent. So I don't see them having any big effect. I will though use them where ever I can WHEN the existing bulb fails.

I get my LED's from Home Depot....Menards.....Walmart, they are everywhere. And they DO last forever. I've had one in a light here in my office for over 2 years now.....its on probably 8-10 hours a day, its still going strong.
Think about the fact that an LED indicator on your typical alarm clock or computer spends many many years on 24/7 and never goes out. They rarely fail. So far I have LED lighting in about 5 lights in my house, the most often used ones. The rest are all various forms of CFL or fluorescent. Only three incandescent fixtures in the house, and they are on less than an hour a week and are on dimmers, so its not worth it. CFL/LED can be used in about 95% of situations with no detrimental effect. Buying a good brand name CFL does result in longer life/better quality light. My power bill only averages in the $65-70 range, and thats with a server, 3 other PC's, network equipment...all on 24/7, electric dryer.....and range.....we're quite efficient. Lighting probably is less than 2% of my power bill at this point.

Fresh water, this link is VERY old, but I have the 55 on top, a 75 on the bottom in the wall.
The wall pic with 2 on the bottom was before I updated it to a 75. Also have a 55 and 2 10's loose in the room. Several other tanks in storage until I have time again.

Buy all your CFL's from HD
Their house brand has "Nine Year Guarantee" on the package.
Anytime one of my CFLs burns out ,I show them the package and walk out with a New Free replacement bulb. They're on their THIRD Chinese manufacturer. And the CFL Bulbs are made especially for Home Depot.

Or maybe that 1955 AirCon Unit set to 55F is a bit extreme. This summer I used a 12k and 5.5k btu window unit quite a lot, and my highest bill was about $90
