They don't last any longer than incandescent in fact they have much shorter lifetimes.

Tell that to my 10 year old Philipps Hue lights. I wonder if there is some other quality at work that would explain the difference...

Average lifetime of my Philips bulbs is ~ 8 months before they develop the 'flicker of death'... at roughly $7/bulb I might as well go back to black market incandescents.
