So let say $120-$156 savings per year plus the costs of Bulbs you would replace. Depending on how many T5's you have plus halides.

Yeah probably roughly $150 per year in power savings. If I only ran 3 halides which I somehow managed to run at 340W for 6 hours per day I'd probably only change the bulbs once a year so it depends what you pay for bulbs but I say around $400 per year. Given the cost of the fixtures it's around 8 years pay back. Given the total cost of my LED adventure the pay back period would be substantially longer So LEDs haven't and won't actually save me money.

Hint: Just don't tell the dominating factor (eg. wife, girlfriend, not-reef safe person) how much you spent upfront for getting the LEDs and they will be happy with the upfront electricity bill savings

LOL that is because you bought Lights (3 x Mitra) that are in my opinion way over priced, but hey each to there own.
