I just want to clarify what you meant here- you do mean that both CFLs and LEDs use a fraction of the energy of incandescent bulbs, right? Because your post seems to indicate the LEDs use a fraction of the power of CFLs; which isn't true unless you mean 9/10.
I just hear people saying that frequently, and the savings of LED over CFL are minimal compared to either over incandescent. Given LEDs are still about 5 times the purchase price, the savings just isn't there yet. Most of my CFLs last around 5-7 years, so even buying another round of CFLs while waiting for LEDs to come down in price is worth it.
