Not Crees I think, but more than likely sufficient light for many applications. I think I saw a lighting company marketing a couple of 100 watt versions with some kind of lens for megabucks.
there was a lot of problems with them, when people were trying them a few months ago. but for my self, I don't know if I would concider them as there are air gaps all over that salt creap and such could work its way into a cause problems. now weather my concerns are justified of not who knows. but thats my stance regarding them as I find there is normaly a trade off fo simplicity. I would rather tap 200 LEDs myself, but I have 20 years of tapping experiance and to me it is kinda relaxing.

Great concept, but maybe a 'luxury' item...?

Personally, I'd stick with the manual work as I enjoy the challenge.
