The first thing I noticed was how they dissipate heat. It was so weird to touch the glass and it be cool.



They don't produce the heat incandescents do. Incandescents produce much more heat than light per watt

I've been wondering for a long time when LED lights would be economically feasible. I hate that the government shoved them down people's throats but they are the better solution.

Incandescents live perfectly well with that heat, LED's do not. Traditional imcandescents produce a fraction of the waste mass that LED's do too. The quality of light is worse from LED's too and they flicker unless you spend $$ on high quality bulbs. Better solution? Not absolutely. Always pros and cons and they certainly have enough cons.
