Yes, but the overall usage, I am sure is more for lighting, and going from 60 or 100 watts to 8.5 -16.5 Watts respectively is a HELL of a lot more overall drop in usage per item than all the appliances and HVAC’s in America.

The new bulbs also have a hidden advantage that’s a great seller, a life span about four times longer than the old incandescent bulbs. For businesses that means a fourfold saving in labor costs for light bulb changing, a major savings in any large building. I went to grade school in the 1950s and remember the janitor constantly changing light bulbs. It’s the same for a homeowner who has an equivalent saving of his/her labor. Then, for the homeowner, add in all the dangerous ladder climbing to get to the high level flood lights. I, for example, have two on one side of my house that are twenty four four feet up.
