I don't see a problem. I stop using incandescent voluntarily years ago. They last longer than than any incandescent I had installed. The only time I have had problems with CFL's was in a torch lamp with a rheostat. Even though I kept it on full, it chewed threw them. I finally went to an LED in that light and no further problems. Electricity bill is going down as well. Most of the remaining CFL's are 10+ years old. Got my monies worth and more.

The lifespan of the average incandescent is 1.5 years. The LED I am using has a 8 year warranty Can't beat that either.

It's funny when I hear people mention "toxic" and CFL and then have a fit. I have never heard anyone complain about shop lights (aka the big FL's). They break all the time in shops and when they burn out we all toss them in the trash. That's a lot of mercury that no one complains about, but they complain about the mercury in CFL's.

My only complaint about my first LED, was that it put out light comparable to daylight and it really screwed with me late at night and made me feel weird. I bought another that was closer to incandescent and problem was solved.
