Bottom line is that the LED bulbs, (on sale at Target this week) are much cheaper long term. Three 4 watt bulbs are much cheaper then 3 25 watt bulbs that folks seem to have to replace more then once a year...sometimes more often. With how long the LED bulbs seem to last, it is a good bet that most folks will never have to replace them once installed.

My post light has three bulb sockets. I put three bulbs in but only screw one in all the way so only one lights up,when that one goes bad I simply tighten the next one until all three are burnt out then start all over.
