Personally, I added a small solar array, had an excess of power and then I added central air conditioning. My usage obviously went up as a result.
If people were diligent about turning off lights not in use, then switching to LED would have maybe lowered their bill by about $2-5/month. For those that are horrendous and leave lights on too much, they could have typically seen bills lower by $50-$100. But we are also a good 15 years on from those switchover and residual gets swallowed by rate increases over time
