Actually, no it wouldn't be cheaper to switch back, the old style bulbs use significantly more electricity than the LED bulbs not to mention the labor costs of getting someone out there with a bucket truck to replace the bulbs when they burn out, old bulb use a ton of electricity 100% of the time, but you only need the heat to melt the snow maybe a couple hundred hours worth of time a year and even still a heating element would likely use less power than the old bulbs as halogen/incandecent bulbs get extrememly hot, much hotter than is needed to melt snow.
