CFL's are a bust. Now LED's. They just seem too expensive for how much light they produce. I know there are some very bright ones but they are crazy expensive. Is anyone switching to LED's?

Many are making the switch despite the cost, but why do you say CFLs are a bust?

If you purchased CFLs a few years ago I can definitely understand. Its taken the technology a few years to catch up with (or perhaps simply approach) all the hype. The same will happen with LEDs. The tech is already improving and prices should come down significantly over the next few years. New technologies always have a few problems when they first arrive.
