I presume they're talking about the payback of replacing incandescent with LED.

What about replacing CFLs with LEDs? If it's more efficient, I'd probably buy an LED for the lamp I use most often, but the LEDs I've seen so far produce about the same lm/W as CFLs. In many cases, the LEDs are LESS efficient than CFLs.
