We are building a new news room and new HD MCR. We are using LED fixtures for 
general lighting and fluorescents for a few fixtures in the rack isles. We 
estimated a savings of 19 KW/hr with the LED's using  14 watts each vs 160w per 
4 tube fluorescent 24/7. @ 10.8 cents / kwh, it will make a difference.   
Several years ago we went from 40 watt 4' to 30 watt 4' tubes for office lighting 
with no noticeable change in light level. I noted a lot of LED studio light 
fixtures at NAB this year. We're dumping our quartz headlamps on the cameras for 
LED models. 26 watts of bulb eats a lot of battery time.
