LED bulbs are still too expensive. Im sticking with incandescent bulbs as well. Amazon has Sylvania 6 pack of BR30s for $6.99 prime. Picked up all the trim kits for $1.60 ea from some online place. I honestly considered CREE br30 can lights but glad I didnt.

Cfl bulbs have a lot of "rules" to last a long time. Need to be upright (not upside down which 99% of all bulbs are), need to not be in a high vibration area (ceiling fan), they don't work well cold and they use just as much energy as a standard bulb until they're fully warmed up.

Another thing to add to the shopping list...
I close on my house on 4/24."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Batteries and Bulbs has incandecents. Also, Ikea has 400lumens LEDs for $4.50 each. That is a 60watt equivalent. I've had a few in my bedroom for a few weeks without issues but who knows.
BTW, the reason CFLs dies much sooner than advertised is because the Feds lowered the standards for making them so they could get the prices down. Of course I'm guessing they may have done the same for LEDs.

I'm slowing switching to LED's. Much brighter and cleaner light. Not warm up time associated with them. The cost of ownership is now less than the previously installed CFL's. There are what I'm using now.
