It is very much a case of a balance between a factor of 5-6 in favour of the led system in power consumption, the capital expense of replacing a light when it fails, and the frequency of failure.
The capital cost (Australian prices) was around 50 to 60 in favour of the cheapest quality incandescent bulbs, but it is no longer possible to buy an incandescent bulb in Australia. That comparison applied between the price of the cheapest bulbs when they went off the market and today's price for a led system. Depending on how they were operated, you could expect an average lifetime of about 6 months for a cheap incandescent bulb as against about 5 years for a led system.
So you will see that the various systems of illumination come out much the same, as does compact fluorescent lighting.
Incandescent lighting produces large volumes of waste which is fairly non-toxic and possibly recyclable. Compact fluorescent lighting produces considerably smaller volumes of waste which is, however, toxic and much more damaging to the environment. Led systems produce really tiny amounts of waste -- I am not really sure how toxic or environmentally damaging it can be
