I recently made the change of household lights from halogen light bulbs to LED ones. Tired of changing them out, they also serve the function of saving on your electricity costs. Luckily, I've been able to be in the lowest tier of electricity rates before the switch, that the main claim I can make is that they are also better for the environment.
One thing to be sure when buying new led bulbs is to first be sure of what kind of light you want. There are 3 types, soft white (2700k), cool white (4100k), and daylight (5000k). There's a big difference between the colors as cool white is the kind of light that you'll get in an office or laboratory. Soft white is what's most similar to what is used in bedrooms and not as harsh on the eyes. There's not much of difference once the lightbulb is installed. I haven't noticed the gradual loss of light in comparison to halogen and incandescent bulbs so the light quality should be similar throughout the lifespan of the bulb. I'd definitely recommend installing LEDs in hard to reach high ceilings and for any bulbs that need replacement, as the price of LEDs has dramatically decreased in the past couple of years and you'd be cutting down on environmental waste as well.
