I think your numbers are slightly exaggerated, but not a lot. Payback
should certainly be less than one your for most people.

I don't know how you arrived at this number but I'm in agreement with

Math.

Where did I lose you.

I used the cost of a kWh as 13 cents.
I assumed the new bulbs use about 10% as much energy as the old style.
If you saved $50, you must have spend $55 before and $5 now.
