Nice looking, but.............

At $300+ any economic or energy saving motivation is out the window.

We all know what white LED looks like. What in your home would you highlight/spotlight with LED?

Contrary to some reports or wishes, incandescent lamps are not going away any time soon. At least for now, they still do many things better.

The clues were there. "Commercial" is code for too damn expensive for home use. More practically for "we pay our guys who change lights $30/hr and it take 3 to hold the ladder....."
