I am a mix of all lights...
We have some can lights that are incandescent... we have some CFL dimmable and now some LEDs...
The CFLs I hate because they take so long to get to full output... and they seem to be taking longer...
I have had a number of CFLs go out much faster than incandescent... heck, I have been living here 6 years and we lost 1 of 4 incandescents in our living room... put in a CFL... it has gone out now... so lasted maybe 3 years... with very little use in hours...
All LEDs are pretty new... so no knowledge on life.... but I think that I will put two LEDs with two CFLs upstairs so at least I can have SOME instant light...
I also have a stash of the regular 60, 75 and 100 watt bulbs.... but probably will never use them.... in my old house I had some last over 25 years in a bathroom that got daily use... just short time use....
