I don't use a single LED or CCFL in my home as a lightbulb replacement. The reason is because I like a more natural color spectrum not one with spikes in specific bands. The other reason is because they flicker. Flickering can be addressed by running LEDs in DC mode and CCFLs with electronic ballasts, but both costs a little bit more money and our current society is geared for the cheapest possible product which means you have to skimp on components. Color spectrum can be addressed by adding more phosphors (more expensive) to CCFLs. With LEDs it can be addressed by not using only blue leds with a yellow phosphor and calling it "white". True RGB LEDs are more expensive. Every time I visit my folks place which doesn't use incandescent anymore, I am always struck by how dull and desaturated it looks because of the energy-efficient lighting. There is more to lighting than energy-efficiency, there is also health to consider. Our bodies didn't evolve under a flickering light source and they also didn't evolve under narrowband color spectrums.
