Good idea Ben , using specialized application for the LED's , this way you get the most bang for your buck and you can reuse the bulbs you swapped and actually start saving money right away.
My top 5 places
Over the dinning room table = because I sit there often
Oven / stove vent lighting = because I leave that light on in the evenings
living room reading light = I read there
bathroom = often this light gets left on by accident
fridge = a 1 to 3 watt bulb in there is all you need and the heat as Ben reminded us is much lower ,especially when comparing a 3w or under LED to a 20W incandescent..
Flashlights , I have 2 LED flashlights , one is a 7w LED the other has five 7w LED's in it for a massive flood light of a flashlight - that one is shockingly bright to most observers , although the single 7w LED zoom focus flashlight is exceptionally bright on its own (it will light up about 1/4 the area of a soccer field).
Next time I see LED's on sale I will buy one for my fridge and bathroom ( the other areas are already LED ) and keep the old fridge bulb for a stove bulb when it goes.
Also
I want to buy a motion activated switch for the bathroom , that light seems to get left on the most when not needed.
