1 thing for sure is they look much much better than fluorescent light of any sort.
Problem with incandescent is...even tho they look nice, they are very hot during summer day, and you usually end up having much lower lumen because you need to keep the power down. I would much prefer a bright LED lite room than a dim incandescent lite room.

I put 8x LED potlight in my bathroom, draws around 56watts together and gives 4000+lumen. (looks like day time in there even with the blinds down)
If i wanted the same brightness in my bathroom using incandescent, I will need 500watts of incandescent light. Pretty impractical...
I've only ever tried the ones that replace normal bulbs. I've tried different brands, Philips being the best, "Sunshine" the worst.

Definitely better than fluorescent but there's still something about the harshness of the light it throws that bothers my eyes. It might even be OK in bathrooms... Definitely not bedrooms or the living room though.
