An individual bulb is somewhat more expensive, yes, but I've noticed I no longer half-expect the typical popping sound of an incandescent bulb going dead randomly when I turn on a light because it's been so long since I've had a bulb truly burn out on me. Used to be a few-times-a-year thing, now it's more like once every 5+ years.
Ive been a bit disappointed. They said ten years but I have had them die in a few. Still longer than the incandescent but they seem to have so much more components it makes me wonder if they are truly better given the materials.
