I bought an LED bulb today for my frequently used reading lamp. It's
rated at equivalent to 40 watts and to last 46 years. That's about ten
times what I am likely to last. The brightness is good and it comes on
instantly. It can also be used with a dimmer.

Hmm,
Few of them burnt out on me after couple years. Just like CFLs.
Lasting 46 years is a myth to me.
