IMO energy-saving bulbs aren't all they're cracked up to be, anyway.

They might not actually *fail* for a long time, but they fade over time,
shortening their useful life that way.

As I have posted before, forget CFLs. Wait a short while

In the dark, presumably?

and there
will be plenty of LED room lighting options. LEDs are more energy
efficient, provide a better quality of light (IMO), may be dimmed, and
are less polluting both in manufacture and in disposal.

What about price, though?

Unfortunately it is unlikely that we will see LED lights that are
plug-in replacements for incandecent bulbs any time soon

And there's the catch...
