false LED light bulbs have gotten to the point where they're bright enough to be used in many applications in your home. They're not as "blue" as they used to be and now come in a cool and warm white too. They give off mostly directional light so they can't replace EVERY bulb in your home. However for directional applications like task, accent, wall-wash lighting they're excellent.Main benefits of LED Bulbs:1. Lasts 50,000 hours - (That's 17 years at 8 hours usage a day!) 50x longer than an incandescent and 12x longer than a halogen means fewer bulbs dumped in landfills as well as less pollution from the manufacture, purchase and disposal of these bulbs.2. Uses 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. A 10W LED bulb will give you about the same amount of light as a 50W incandescent flood bulb. 2. Doesn't contain Mercury - Unlike CFL's that contain mercury (that is a neuro-toxin) and require a complicated clean-up process (http://www.epa.gov/mercury/spills/)3. Runs cool - so safer around children and reduces your air conditioning costs. I've been told by both energy engineers as well at energy efficiency classes that a good rule of thumb is for every Watt of energy you save in electricity by using LED lighting, you also reduce your A/C costs by 0.2W. E.g. saving 100kWh in lighting lets you reduce your A/C by an additional 20kWh since it gets less hot. Payback periods vary from 2-4 years depending on usage. Here's a website that sells them: http://www.eternaleds.com/LED_Floodlights_s/30.htm as well as an independent review of them from another site: http://www.greendealsdaily.com/blog/eternaleds-led-light-bulbs-go-beyond-cfls-but-are-they-ready-for-prime-time/  jeff
