I will stick with LED's till something better comes along for most uses.
The thing about incandascents, which I still use exclusively in some places, is this.. When they talk about an efficency of 2-3 percent they are talking about turning Electricity into light..... So what happens to the other 97-98 percent of the energy.. HEAT of course.
Sometimes.. What I'm looking for is heat (Which the light will become when it is absorbed by assorted non reflective/transparent stuff) so I use incandescents' for heat Work great.
But for lighting it's CFL or LED. I really like my LED's.
