Need LED Fixtures
I find it weird to make LED bulbs backwardly compatible with incandscent bulbs. Incandescent bulbs use (US standard) 120 volts ac and LEDs run on low voltage DC. The LED bulb form factor includes a power converter, LED driver, heat sinks and the LED. What I have heard is that heat is the biggest cause of failure for LED bulbs; the power conversion adds to the heat load. It would be better to design an LED fixture that has the power conversion in the base and an LED bulb using non compatible connection so that the LED bulb can be replaced but not with an incandescent bulb.

in that case
there would be no need to have the "bulb" replaceable. the 15-20 year expected life, and it could last longer, would be longer than most would be expected to keep the fixture. This also will free up designers to get out of the single bulb in a lampshade design

I'd love to replace my CFL bulbs with LED
Frankly, I hate 'em. I have them in my livingroom, bedroom, home office and entryway. They take about 10 minutes to "warm up" to full brightness. I'd love to have the "instant on" experience of an LED bulb (as well as the low-heat and low energy use). But at $25 to $45 per bulb, it would cost me a few hundred dollars to replace all the bulbs in my home.
Considering they are currently a niche product and are not being manufactured in volume, I know that within a few years the price will drop... so I hold off on buying.
Drop the price now and I'll buy tomorrow.
