If you are starting with incandescent lights going to LED's to save electricity it is definitely the thing to do assuming you use the lights on a regular basis. I didn't upgrade the lights in my attic because I seldom go up there. If you are starting with fluorescents and going to LED's the savings is much less. In my case I was going through a lot of fluorescent bulbs (probably due to bad electronics in the fixtures) and just replaced everything with LED's. At the time it was about the same price to replace the fluorescent fixtures as to upgrade them. I bought mine at COSTCO.
