LED Bulb Shopping [View all]

We went shopping yesterday at Home Depot because their bulbs on line were on sale for $2.97. When we got there, the sale was over, of course. So, I purchased 8 candelabra base LED bulbs and 17 regular base LED bulbs. I can switch the incandescent bulbs around to the least used lights and wait for them to expire.

I'm really skeptical about these bulbs lasting 11 years. I tried the fluorescent bulbs, and I don't think they lasted long at all. I plan to mark the date of the bulb switch to confirm the life of the bulb.

It remains to be seen how much money will be saved as the total cost of these bulbs was $123. Last month's electric bill was $83.
