I'm glad to hear folks are having good results. I feel like I was suckered with the CFL's, so I've been hesitant on the LED's. I still plan on waiting a few years to see how the longevity is, as that was the biggest let down for me with the CFL's. Ridiculously high estimates for life on the CFL's, combined with their on the package comparisons to standard bulbs, which routinely last several times longer than "they" say they will, really left a bitter taste in the mouth for me.

I don't have any fancy fixtures, or any dimmable lights, about the most complex thing I have is a ceiling fan that takes four bulbs, all with the tiny base. 4 CFL's never worked, they always flickered, I imagine it had to do with too many ballasts too close together. If I replaced one or two with incandescents, the problem went away.

So I'm watching, and hoping, but it's going to take a bit to get over the CFL debacle.
