+1. That just about covers it. All my lights are LED now. I've bumped my LED lights around without incident too many times to count. Each bump would have killed standard incandescent bulbs.

I have only had one LED light develop problems after a 4' fall. It was a cheapie from Costco. The actual LED is okay, but the voltage-boosting "puck" is now intermittent. It's probably a damaged wire or a bad solder joint. Not worth fixing, but I'll remove the LED for use in a desk lamp or something.
