Are LEDs the wave of the future..??

[Snappy]

LED technology has come a long way. I sell LED flashlights and they are very very bright. Perhaps they are using the "luxeon" LED 's which are 10 X as bright as a regular LED. I use one for looking into my tank at night and believe me it is bright. If you had lots of them as I would suspect they would, it would light up a pretty large area.
