One day the LED will probably be the only light source we use at home. In the meantime, we should ask ourselves what we want to achieve and then look at the ways of achieving it - LEDs may indeed provide the correct solution. Just make sure the reliability, light output, control, energy consumption and maintenance questions have been addressed first.
