How about they instead build 80,000 solar rooftops for their people? Then consider purchasing these overpriced LED’s?

1). Full brightness instant on.
2). Last longer.
Other than that, CFLs are cheaper per bulb, but you replace them more often. CFLs take a few minutes to come to full brightness (which is actually nice when flipping on the bathroom light at night).
But as far as brightness, CFLs have LEDs beat, and efficiences are close (lumens per watt).

That’s a total strawman argument as far as I’m concerned. It’s 2011, people. Every bulb in my house is CFL, and even my self-proclaimed redneck republican in-laws, who presumably don’t give a flip about climate change, use CFLs because they are just as cheap as incandescents, so the energy savings makes them huge winners on financial concerns alone.

All I’m trying to say is that I want someone to at least try to convince me that LEDs are better than CFLs before I go out and buy a 15 dollar bulb. Telling me that LEDs are environmentally/economically better than incandescents does nothing for me. You may as well tell me that LEDs are better than beeswax candles.
