I really like the LED’s as well. Now that many manufacturers provide a Kelvin rating, you can get the perfect light spectrum. However, I have only used them in situations to reduce heat from halogens and in my 10 foot ceilings so I do not have to replace every six month. They are still expensive to change out all the 60 watt ceiling fans and light fixtures.

You are right there, they are not cheap to buy.
But for medical reasons it has been worth it.
They have been in for nearly a year, so we shall see how long they last.
I've been told by a lighting engineer that the power regulator in the base is the first bit to fail.
Plus they give off heat unlike CFLs.

LED’s are dimmable, but not with the old style incandescent bulb dimmers. So yes, the bulbs are expensive and you are paying money to replace the dimmers, too.

That said, I'm a fan and have been replacing incandescent with LED’s at home and in the office as the old bulbs go. The prices are starting to come down quite a bit from a year ago.

Also, I have found ONE good use for the CFL bulbs. Outside, on my formerly gas burning street lamp. The bulb stays on 24/7 and one lasted a couple of years. The ones that I have used that are turned on and off do NOT last as advertised, and I don't like the look of the bulbs OR the light they produce.
