Comment Re:LED = Luxury Goods^H^H^H directional and color (Score 1) 398

I don't think so.

Trucks and cars use LED lighting for the same reasons that traffic lights do. They are already colored and directional.

Low heat, low power dissipation and high shock/vibration tolerance are also pluses.

LED home lighting can avoid the CFL problem of being 'too white', and may first appear as architectural lighting (where intensity and color are varied by time of day, event or spacially).

I know I'd pay more for a LED solution that wasn't 'cold white', rather than install florescent in my kitchen or bathroom. Building codes now require florescent in those rooms, so look there for early adoption in new homes (when the present housing crisis abates).
