Are the LEDs coming our way?

LED (Light Emitting Diode) applications have so far looked rather odd when they have been advertised as replacements for lightbulbs. Now, there is an application with a replacement product for light tubes that also look like a tube.
As with so many other new products, they are tremendously expensive and in this case a tube will cost you 100-110€ a piece. However, if the technology works, that price will surely drop fast.

using existing infrastructure
By Hans De Keulenaer / Published on Sun, 2007-07-08 9:25This is very promising, since using this new technology will be much less disruptive for consumers.
In a similar vein, the proposed ban on incandescent lighting would be much more digestible/feasible if it wouldn't mean replacing a wide variety of lighting aramtures currently in use.
