At $10, LED light bulbs finally make sense for your most-used fixtures.
For green home designers, it means you should stick with medium base fixtures everywhere. The LEDs also operate plenty cool enough for those small closets with shelves. I'm not sure how you will convince the building inspectors, but when incandescent bulbs are illegal, that should solve the problem.
Some folks aren't fully convinced: http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/green-communities/let-there-be-light-gu24-base-cfls-and-leds#post_comments
But these holdouts won't be promoting CFLs much longer. Economics and common sense will bring them around.
And remember, CFLs still suck
