[/quote] It's because up until recently, LEDs disappate their light energy much faster than conventional bulbs, i.e., it could only light small areas. More advanced LEDs have come of age but they're expensive. Everything is slowly dropping in price so yes, in the future LEDS will be here to stay but I don't think they will be the end all solution. Organic light diodes are the future. They use even less energy than LEDs, cheaper to manufacturer, and are not harmful to the environment. - L.T.

I'm currently looking for one and I haven't seen any in the stores I've been in. - mbm Sat, 26 May 2007 03:08:54 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/solar-power/654#comment-2494 We've had LEDs around for so long, how come we only just thought of making them into lights? I recently bought an LED desklamp and think it's the business. LED is definitely going to take off. Let's hope more designers like Corona put their thinking hats on for the environment. - Mark Fri, 25 May 2007 14:15:58 +0100
