how commonplace do leds have to be before they fall to a reasonable price?.....leds are already used in the absolute billions....almost every television is filled with hundreds of leds
ok thanks for the comparison, but we'd need details of makes models etc to see if it was a just comparison.......in any case, you say its a "recessed" light, which suggests "downlighting", and indeed the directional property of leds does actually make them preferable for downlighting. so I concede that point to you...however, for general all-room lighting, leds are a poor second to fluorescents.
