What would be a great finish for comparisons like this IMO is a graph or chart that compares all the highlights side by side (cost per bulb, lumens per watt, cost per year, etc etc). The detail info is great but an overview is always helpful too.
I'd like it if the graphics were larger.
Cost per bulb is one thing, cost of bulbs over 50k hours is another. For example, 42 incandescents @ 1.25 = $52.50 vs $36 for 1 LED.
