actualy I bought two yesterday at home depot. 60 watt equiv, dimable 19.00 each, and I am very impressed with them. I tried dimmable CFLs but they suck and dim at different rates so I took them back.

house hold LEDs are dropping in price quite quickly now that there is more compatition. but the bigger thing we should worry about here is the mercury in CFLs. I am slowly changing out all my cfl's to LED now that there are good options in a reasonable price now.
