"The LED's lasts at least 40.000 hours" they claim. What a sack of donkey's droppings that statement! I've replaced as many "long lasting" LED bulbs as I've replaced halogen and incandecent bulbs. Sad

I bought a box of eight no-name CFLs about a decade ago, at $1 per bulb. I phased them in by replacing my incandescents as they died. I went from replacing a couple of incandescents a year to replacing a CFL every few years. I'm spending less on bulbs and on electricity, and enjoy the convenience of not having to replace bulbs as often.

I guess I'll switch to LED once I use up those CFLs, but given how long they've lasted so far, that could be another decade from now...
