Most of mine have lasted about a year. So a few times longer than incandescent, sure, but cost a lot more. And I am sure the energy cost of manufacturing them (including mining for rare earth minerals) is so greatly more that over their lifetime they use more energy than incandescents which were made of simpler materials.
