Wrong. It is less expensive to use a $45.00 LED MR16 cup lamp than a FREE halogen cup lamp. That’s right! If you use it 8 hours/day and pay 15 ¢/KW hour, you’ll save $11.36/year with that high-tech LED lamp, and that’ assuming you don’t have to pay someone to change the bulb. Please see our calculator and notes for how to use it. So you could take out halogen bulbs you’ve already paid for (essentially free, at this point) and save money by buying a $45 LED MR16. If the light is inconvenient to change because of its location, you’re even better off with the LED because it lasts so long.
