I've replaced all mine (bulbs not fixtures) with 65W equivalent LEDs.
Their actual wattage is approx. 8.5 W. Six bulbs replaced in the kitchen and the light is whiter and brighter than the original 65W incandescent bulbs and they are dimmable. When all six bulbs are lit, they use less than ONE of the original bulbs. They produce minimal heat and can last up to 22 years. I purchased the LED spots on sale at Ace Hardware on sale for $22/pair.

The fixture above the dining room table had three 100W bulbs. In the summer when it was hot, the heat from the fixture made it uncomfortable sitting at the table. I replaced the incandescent 100W bulbs with three 75W equivalent LED bulbs. Just as much light...and the fixture is cool to the touch. The three bulbs use less than 20W... 1/15th of the originals.

Thanks OP for your information...It seems you're as impressed with LEDs as much as I am.
