in the dark
I was listening to this story on the way home from work and found myself getting heated over the incandescent vs. LED debate (yes, bad pun intended). LED light bulbs cost $35-$50 each, and each household has an average of 50 sockets (yep, you do the math). We made the switch to CFLs a few years ago, but we still use incandescent bulbs in our clear fixtures because it's much more attractive. To be perfectly frank, it's worth the sacrifice of the $100 I would save over the life of the LED bulb (15-20 years) for me to have a pretty light bulb.
