Citation? I've seen math that all LED bulbs provide a better return in saved energy costs over the S&P500.

Better return compared to incandescent, but a worse return compared to CFL.

Comparing to incandescent is quite disingenuous. The bulbs just cost too much today, and the heat problems (i.e. much lower lifetime) are not fully solved, they work in some fixtures and not in others.

Cree LEDs have a 20 year lifetime, and a 10-year limited warranty.

They cost a lot though, which was my original point, that they are not financially worth it (yet).
