prices online. Here is a list of current prices for LEDs at Lowes - and Lowes does have some great sales on these at times.

I am on social security. I still have some incandescents, I bought them up as they were being phased out. I just do not like the disposal problems with the CFLs, and halogens are too hot. I don't leave a light on in any room that is not being used. I live in Florida, and cannot afford to run my air conditioner any more, so I am not using that much electricity anyway. I will replace everything with LEDs, as I can afford them. But like I said, prices are coming down, and I read that some English firm has invented a way to make LEDs really cheaply, so I think that will drive prices down eventually, too.
