My experience is that if you are in the habit of turning a light on when you enter a room and off when you leave, that CFLs will die *faster* than incandescents. If you leave a CFL on continuously, it will last much longer than if it is switched on and off frequently.
I will agree with that one. Many years ago, the first CFL I installed was in my bedroom closet. On and off many times a day. Lasted about three months. Put an incan in there back then. It's now an LED.
I don't yet know if LED bulbs will outlast CFLs or incandscents when they are switched on and off frequently.
My experience is that switching LEDs on and off does not bother them. I'm one of those strange people who runs a music synchronized Christmas light show. Everything in the show is LEDs. I have LEDs that switch on and off thousands of times every night. Additionally some of the lights are used year round for landscape lighting. Again, lights are switching on and off and / or dimming many times per day. Reliability is VERY high with the LEDs.
