We had our new(old) home redone before moving in, all LEDs. I love the light quality, it's not cold or anything, and all switches have dimmers. They weren't cheap, I think $80 a piece for the fixture and bulb and there are a lot of them - but you just want bulbs.. it adds up, possibly in the same way a hybrid won't pay for itself for 300K miles ;-) But during a renovation we didn't care, it was needed, looked good and provided way more light... Electrical cost wise, we're paying peanuts now, but I don't think that's the LEDs as much as it is the lack of A/C in the new house !
Back when I played with a draw measuring device and did research on this, the big deals in the house were #1 old A/C, #2 old appliances (fridge(s)), #3 UPS !!! Surprised me (the UPS), I stopped using them. Pool pumps too, I hear...
