Whilst the LED's themselves don't use much, the transformers used in them do. Then your left with what to do with them when they do go. Arsenic in them poses a challenge that has yet to be sorted. Other than shipping them to China for disposal.Side note: Motors can affect the new (cheap) digital antennas too. I accidentally put one between the refrigerator and the TV. When the refrigerator kicked in, the signal kicked out. Amusing thing was, it was at the exact same time every day.
On the light bulbs you are partially correct. Yes on the CFL's but LED's don't need that much starting power. Ours are now LED though since they use so little power, except for the 5 light one, I tend to leave the kitchen lights on. I rarely turn any other lights on during the day.
With "smart meters" and interference, how would you feel if it decided you were using more. Something that wasn't possible with an analogue meter.
