The CFL lighting was subsidized by the local California Utilities, 
because the state has an incentive for Utilities to either build 
efficient plants and expand capacity, or incentivize people to reduce 
consumption by some amounts to offset that requirement.

They are doing  the same for some LED lighting now, though not as much 
as they did for CFL at this point.

At one point I could buy a flat of 60W CFL's for $2.00, which had maybe 
20 bulbs in it.  Still have it with bulbs.

I am however buying for every location I use lighting for any period  of 
time LED lighting.  I think most of my spots have 8 to 10w bulbs which 
are as bright as most the lighting which it replaced.

The main incandescent lighting I want to keep are lights which can be 
used in either traffic lights or have connections to work in home 
lighting.  They are specially made to have much extended lifetimes for 
such, and are handy where you do want to put in and leave an 
incandescent light rather than either CFL or LED.
