The bulbs will total around $50 for all 14.
QUESTION: has anyone gone ahead and done this and noticed a decrease in overall energy usage?

I switched all my house bulbs to LED's and my overall bill went up 30%...
Of course, that might have something to do with the 5kW heater I put in the garage...
Lights are such a drop in the bucket to the overall power bill...
You're looking at years not months for your ROI.
