LEDs do look very attractive. 50,000 hour life, and less than half the electricity use of CFLs.
Every torch I've bought recently had had an LED. I can't see any good reason to buy anything else.
But for room lights they have some way to go yet. But if they're not widespread (& inexpensive) by 2020 (at the latest) I'll be very surprised.

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.
