To be fair, operating cost of LED should also include the cost of running the heater more as well. I run a 1/2 hp chiller which sounds like a lot, but that is still around 400w. That's less than the amount of heating I run (500w). So really, if I switch to LEDs and need to run the heaters more in the winter, that's even worse than needing to run the chiller more in summer with halides.
