Not a great difference in power consumption except for those in two ceiling fittings, but some of the new ones do use the same or a bit less energy and are often a bit brighter.OTOH, have had a lot of LED bulb failures after very short lives - hopefully the current generations of LED bulbs are more reliable.</blockquote>
