Default Incandescent lamps are 100% energy efficent if you also need heat...

I like GE's "REVEAL" lamps because they create flattering light and that's because the glass contains neodymium. My local damaged and outdated goods warehouse now sells A-19 REVEAL lamps for $.50 and A-19, 3-ways for $.75, so I like that they're no longer popular elsewhere.

Where I don't want the heat, like where I live in summer, I use LED lamps because electricity is so expensive. I've never liked so called compact fluorescent lamps, regardless of color temperature, for several reasons somewhat technical.
