Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Even cheap LEDs have been better than CFLs, for the sizes I usually use. Might get worse as you push higher and heat starts to be non-trivial? I just replaced a 65Weqv (1 from a batch of 6 Sunco) that was starting to die after 4 years.
For quality, both LED and CFL have the same risks; cheap ballasts mean high frequency flicker, dimmer switch compatibility isn't a given, and if you want good CRI you'll pay a little more. But the really expensive LED bulbs all seem to be color changing remote-controlled gizmos that you probably don't need.
