    You'd have to do the sums based on your usage to see what the savings are.
    But you can probably get a credit meter free of charge.

    Bulb have said they could fit a credit smart meter. Is it worth doing do you think?

    Yes, once you've got a credit meter it makes it easy to swap providers - even if they fit a smart meter it doesn't stop you from changing suppliers. What sort of deal are bulb offering, is it better than what you've got at the moment.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    Check all the details very carefully: they may specify that you have to stay with them for 12 months or they will charge you.  Bulb are expensive so you'd need to take that into account if they can lock you in.
    However I would never accept smart meters unless the government made them compulsory, but YMMV.
