When I started as a electrican some 40+ years ago, we had drum lights with incandescent lamps.These fixtures (back then they were fixtures) would be overlamped, and overheat the branch circuit NM. In 1984 NN-B was required as it had 90 C insulation.
I recently installed a LED luminare from Commerical Electric, which is Home Depots house brand. 2 for $62, has 3 different color temp settings, light weight and easy to install, has a bar the luminare hangs from, wire it up and swing it into place. Dims really well.
I only saw one or two non LED luminares at the big box.
All in all the LED market has been an advantage to the industry. The CFLs were just a bump in the road....
