Contrary to popular belief, compact fluorescents are still somewhat more efficient than the best white LEDs, and MUCH more cost effective. I think that CFLs also put out a more useful light for house hold use. The only advantages of the LEDs would be longer life and lack of mercury. The longer life is not nearly enough to overcome the higher cost, so mercury-free lighting would be the only real advantage at this time. I do think that LED lighting will get more competitive as the technology matures and more people start using them.

I apologize for this OT but I feel strongly about energy..carbon and all that.  I have decided to give LED light bulbs as Christmas presents.  I have people in my family who are burning the usual incandescents.  They also are a little difficult to pick presents for.. so for the foreseeable future they are getting light bulbs. They also save money on the electric bill. This seems a good model and place to buy. http://store.earthled.com/collections/frontpage/products/new-earthled-zetalux-7-watt-led-light-bulb
