We have lots of "under achieving" CFL's (read that, prematurely failed) in the cabinet awaiting proper disposal. The transition to LED's has been dependent on the failure of old bulbs and the price (drop) of LED's. Color fidelity has become more of an issue as equiv wattage gets higher. Sometimes in multi-bulb fixtures, mixing color temps provides a more pleasing viewing aura. The overall palette seems to be improving, so it remains to be seen how accurate the longevity of LED's is compared to CFL's... I kinda feel cheated w/ CFL's, but enough of them were subsidized so it's not worth making a stink over. Incandescents were a lot more predictable given their longer history, but watts is watts. I get the feeling LED's are gonna win Light Wars™... just not sure which brand is gonna come out on top.
