Not sure about that. Do know it's coming soon.
Around my house most of the lights we use all the time are now CFLs. Only incandescents are leftovers or in weird sockets like in ceiling fans or something like that. We have a few incandescents on the shelf that haven't been used yet, so will use those along the way until they're finally gone.
Waiting for when LEDs get to where they can be used for where we would have normally used 100 watt incandescents. So far the only possible replacements go up to 60 watt equivalents. First place I'll put them is on outside lighting, because replacing an outside bulb in the dead of winter is no fun.
