That's great but have you seen any for sale yet? The only LED lights I can find are plug-in night lights and strings of Christmas lights. I'd like to find a source of reasonably priced lamps with conventional screw in bases.

In the meantime, I'll continue using my 48 CFL's that use 80% less electricity than standard light bulbs.
