I posted some pics below. The MR16 are Slyvania 5.5w bulbs (from Lowe's) which replaced 50w bulbs. So that's 27.5w instead of 250w or a 89% reduction. One issue is that these are non-dimmable apparently because they buzzed something awful until i replaced the dimmer switch.

Now the other lights are using the candelabra bulbs. I put these into the chandeliers in our breakfast nook and dining room as well as our entry light. Combined those used 620W through a combination of 11@40W and 3@60W bulbs. They were replaced with Utilitech 3.5W bulbs (dimmable!) which now total 49W or 92% savings. They were easy to install, even though removing those individual little light shades on the chandeliers was annoying. Pics are provided below.

The dining room chandelier. Looks nice!
This was a good suggestion that you put up here...dude…..hope that it benefits all the ones who land up here.
