Unfortunately for LEDs, there is no replacement for displacement. In a way, you could say that Incans are to torque what LEDs are to horsepower...like a turbocharged 1.6 I4 honda civic (die) with a huge turbocharger (reflector) LEDs will probably NEVER have the overall power and output that incans have, but they have come a long ways and they still have a long ways to go. Unless you were to make the die as big, or bigger than an Incan bulb, and make it (almost) as warm as an incan bulb in color, there is no way that LEDs will probably ever put incans completely out of business. The good thing is that they're not in competition with eachother per say, so we can all purchase incan and LED lights at our own will. As far as tactical measures are concerned, I have never really encountered a tactical measure, but I would feel more confident holding a 6D maglite than a 1AAA pencil if I ever got in a fight. One good thing for LED fans is that "general purposes" is a hell of a broad category, and LEDs certainly fill that space up nicely.
