I can't see spending that much money up front for bulbs. CFL bulbs run about $2 a 4-6 pack at Costco. Those LED bulbs use maybe 1/2 the energy of CFL bulbs, but when you factor price, energy use/cost and longevity, I'll pick CFL any day. EXCEPT if you need bulbs for a battery powered system, like a boat. ESPECIALLY for a mast head light that is way beyond a PITA to get to.
