Is it worth switching to LED lights and fittings?

Bill Brown IMHO illustration for LED lights

Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question:

I’ve been quoted £800 to change 20 50W halogen lights and fittings to LED. I’ll make some savings on electricity, but wonder if the supposed benefits are true. Will I end up replacing them more often than they say? Do others regret getting LED, or should I go ahead?
