They’re expensive at the moment, but the replacement for the CFL bulb will be the LED bulb. It produces more light for less energy, and does not require HAZMAT procedures for clean-up.

Currently, aside from price, the only problem inherent to LEDs of which I am aware is an occasional inadequate supply of heat sink compound at the base of the LED.

Eventually, these lamps should be even cheaper than incandescents or CFLs, but somebody has to pay the price of pushing the envelope.

I swept it up in the Dyson Supervac and tossed the bits out with a bag of soggy diapers. The thing about a supposedly long-life bulb is that when the baby knocks the lamp over, that’s it.
