I recently ran across an article about a college that replaced a few hundred of its ceiling-mounted fluorescents with LED lights... at $75 a bulb, versus $2.50 for a standard tube fluorescent. Me, I don't know how they managed it, especially in this economic climate. But they did.

I'm eyeing LED bulbs too, but so far, I don't have the money to replace the lights in my house with them. Hopefully they'll come down in price soon, and we'll see (!) a lot more LED lights about.
