Your paying a lot more overall in energy costs. A good quality LeD bulb is about ~$9 versus $2 for a regular bulb. And the energy cost savings is significant. Might wanna think about changing a few around the house

I dont have incandescent bulbs. there's not a huge savings going from CFL to LED. plus I have sooooooo many lights in my crib.

Your looking at saving $300 a year. But not sure how accurate it really is.

Mercury-Packed CFL Bulbs Now Found to Fry Your Skin

Mike Barrett

This, of course, isn’t the only issue with compact fluorescent bulbs. In addition to having a potential negative impact on your skin, these bulbs emit toxic chemicals. In fact, only months after it was found that energy saving fluorescent bulbs release carcinogenic chemicals into the air, a new study has found that these harmful chemicals are continually released from the bulbs over a period of weeks to months.

In addition to releasing these cancer-causing chemicals, which are far beyond the “safe” level set by the EPA, these bulbs also release levels of mercury which also exceed the “safe” levels for humans.
