How do they compare with incandescents, for light quality? Brighter? Dimmer?
I've been waiting for LED's to hit a pricepoint that's affordable. Basically, I hoarded enough incandescents to get me through a few years until I can go to LED's. They just make sense, low power and last forever.
After buying a new house and finding that ALL (not a couple, but ALL) of the CFL's the former owners used were badly scorched, there's no way I'll purchase one of those.
And, as an aside - I've not had any trouble finding 100W bulbs. Everyplace still seems to be carrying them. What if Congress passed a law, and no one paid any attention. :-)
I bought some 40W (equiv) LED bulbs from Sam’s Club a couple of years ago. They worked well at first, but then after only about a month grew so dim that I had to replace them. Perhaps the newer ones are better, but I’m going to wait before buying any more.
