For comparison purposes I took the LED bulb from the shop and installed it in the reading lamp next to the bed. The lamp on the other side is a CFL.
Standing at the foot of the bed I cannot tell if one is brighter than the other. The Killawatt reports 11W on the LED and 16W for the CFL. If each lasts 1000 hours before shop machinery, lightning, or the grid gets them I will save 5 kWh - about 55 cents.
I'll wait it out another year or two. If my sample LED is still alive then I can justify the switch.
