I'm siding with other soothsayers predicting an LED revolution. The
latest issue of Digi-Key's "Tech Zone" trade journal is devoted to LED
lights. Colors are getting much better, the elusive triac dimming puzzle
has been solved, etc.

LED's require a set directional DC voltage. *I think that's going to be
the big price drawback. *Great for flashlights with batteries but $100
LED bulb with built in AC to DC converter is not worth it.

You can buy LED lightbulbs (mains voltage) in the UK for only a few
pounds.
