What's the big deal about this? I don't see why anyone would want to light an apartment with LED's. Fluorescents are much more power efficient and can have a nicer color spectrum. Incandescents just about always have a nicer spectrum, but aren't more efficient.

Obviously it's both the gee-whiz value of solid-state lighting, coupled with the creative design optioins of being able to place small, color-variable point light sources in unusual places where fluorescents wouldn't fit and other technologies would get too hot.
I think that example "apartment" would not function well as a living space, once the novelty wore off (probably after about a half-hour) but it would be really nice in an upscale nightclub or an editing suite.
