I hope you have good luck with longevity.
We replaced hundreds of exit light bulbs with LED types at my previous 
job. They did not last long enough to pay for any energy savings. 
Granted, that was 10 years ago, maybe technology has improved to a point 
that they are a viable option. I will be interested to see what your 
opinion is in a year or two.

At my home I have changed over to compact fluorescent bulbs, decent 
light, good life, the only bad I have found is that they take a few 
moments to come up to full brightness (temperature really affects this).
