Conventional lighting is always better!  Down with the L*Ds!    As far as incandescent, my parents have bought a LOT of them from Re-Stores. There is like two large moving boxes full of incandescent lamps all NOS and ready to be lit! Same with CFLs to a smaller degree.

@Robotjulep and Mandolin Girl - I disagree, and seem to be one of the few who does, but I guess we're each to our own.

I think what makes incandescent special is that they generate warm light with heat which is relaxing when you use them in a table lamp near a desk on a winter's day. CFL or L*D is too municipal, not residential and it doesn't have the infrared output of an incandescent lamp. But also the idea of a full glass bulb, no toxic chemicals, and simple construction is what made incandescent the preferred light source. They were cheap to buy and manufacture and they were popular in every country. Also, Incandescent emits a full spectrum, where as CFL or L*D although mimicking the 2700K appearance, has some green hue in it.

One of the environmental benefits of using incandescent lamps is that they require a fraction of the resources to manufacture compared to that of LED lighting as far as I understand.
