Return of incandescent light bulbs?

Return of incandescent light bulbs as MIT makes them more efficient than LEDs

The Energy Saving Trust calculates that typical living room usage of a 60-watt incandescent lightbulb over a year would cost £7.64. Using an equivalent energy efficient fluorescent or ‘CFL’ lightbulb would cost £1.53 per year, while an LED would cost just £1.27.

But if the new bulbs live up to expectations they would cost under 50p a year to run and even improve health.

Man, I hope so. With regular incandescent bulbs getting a bit harder to come by, this looks like a huge improvement. I don't even care about the energy savings. It likely won't be that much for me, as I typically don't leave lights on very much. I've resisted changing to cfl and led lights to keep a decent color temperature for bedrooms and master bathroom. CFL and LED are great for a garage, work room, laundry room, etc... but suck for the more intimate and supposedly relaxing rooms.
