They do save, but not directly proportional to the voltage drop. Your
bulbs will last longer also since they are not operating at full
temperature.
I might add that while that is true for most all lamps, under some
conditions (generally when dimmed between about 40-60% halogen lamps will
actually have reduced life. Kind of knit picking. :-)
Also while and not sure exactly what trader4 was trying to say, but you
are correct about the savings not being directly proportional.
