LED Lighting coming to our homes

[VTXMAN]

My house is also full of CFLs and I have decided that I am now used to the definate deficiency in the brightness.  The thing that makes me angry about the CFLs is that they advertise that the bulbs have much longer lives than regular bulbs..that has not been what I have experienced at all.   

The reason is they are not supposed to turned on/off repeatedly all day, it shortens the life. That is why they are fine for work environment but not a house.

Those bulbs are a scam, over time you will spend way more on them that standard incandescent bulbs.

Nice led lights. Everybody wants to have a personal spa area in their homes.

CFL bulbs die young if you mount them with the ballast up, as in an regular indirect lighting fixture. It's the heat, I would guess.

I have some track lighting in a work area of our store and we put in a couple dozen CFL bulbs, non-reflector type, aimed down just because they looked neater. They lasted less than a year. The prices keep dropping on these things AND you can see SUCH a huge difference in color when you replace them; so we put all new ones. But this time we tipped the fixtures so the bases are not up - hoping to go more than a year with this batch.
