I have only been following LED indoor lighting as a non-participant, but from what I've read, you need to stick with name-brand at this point. Cree has popped up a number of times in technical articles as a leader in white LEDs. Their product focus is on recessed lighting: http://www.creeledlighting.com/residential.htm http://www.creeledlighting.com/residential.htm The photo in the NY Times article is of Philips' entry into the L Prize. Time Magazine has a short blurb on the bulb, albeit light on information (pun not intended): http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1934027_1934003_1933947,00.html http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1... My best guess is that 2010 will be a good year to start dipping your toes in LED lights for around the house. If I owned my own house, I would probably get the Cree recessed lights today. I enjoy a well lit house, and turning lights on and off to save energy annoys me. I welcome the day that I have my own solar panels, LED lights, and solar tube lighting.
