Well, I worked for GE Lighting for a few years as a CFL Ballast Engineer and I can tell you from my experience that GE CFL's are not what they used to be...
LED lighting is the future, though non-power factor corrected drivers will create issues for the power grid, just like CFL's do...
When comparing lighting, the specification that you need to look at, besides life, is efficacy which is a measure of Lumens/Watt and LED's are continually improving in this area.
I have replaced all of my camper lighting, in every camper I have owned, with LED's. I do have CFL's in my house, but they will be replaced there too once quality 120 VAC LED's are developed.
