Home lit solely by LED's

I searched & didn't see it posted anywhere else, but I'm presuming others have seen this article on MSN?

A bit spendy at $30k [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/faint.gif[/img] but still pretty cool.

Very interesting, $30K for 120 'fittings' totalling 400 Watts. Hmmm... ICELED tube uses 3.6 Watts per $50 foot length - that's 111 feet which would cost something like $5.5K ~ maybe it's time to look seriously at the domestic market [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Here's what a customer did with ICELED in his home:

Wow! My dream was to have a house lit entirely by LED's like that. I would have the color lighting along the wall like that (and it would also serves as a nice nightlight), and then have regular white bulbs in regular ceiling fixtures and lamps. Even appliances. My apt. is completely CF except for the refrigerator, because on the old refrigerator (which I did have a CF in) the compressor blew, I moved the CF elsewhere, and I might as well wait until the incandescent it came with blows out before I put a CF in. The microwave also still has its original incandescent, though that is a different type of bulb than the others.
I'll replace with LED bulbs when the prices come down enough.
I also dream of having a home with a yard full of color changing LED Christmas decorations. (The iColorFlex would be the perfect thing for that (except for using orange as the primary red, which dulls some of the mixed colors into pastels. Saw one demonstrated for me recently!), but that too, the price (for the software as well as the lights) is grossly prohibitive.
