It all depends on the application. What are your plans?

LEDs are actually less efficient than CFLs, also the quality of the light isn't very good. I have a few light bulbs that consist of hundreds of white 5mm LEDs. It turns the room a very sterile whitish blue color, but it's also modulated (which I find irritating) because of the 60hz AC. If you want to go with LEDs, use DC power.
