Far more viable than the CFLs... But again, not all lighting types are effective for all applications. Insane that governments are trying to ban things that technology will eventually outmode.

with 95% lower cost of use over its lifetime, these LED’s will replace incandecents where its practicle.

“that governments are trying to ban things that technology will eventually outmode.”

I agree — it’s pure gesture politics. Even our (Canadian)Conservative government has set standards, which will effectively ban classic incandescent bulbs by 2012. They had to do it to shut the ecowackos up. A lot of people actually believed that the only thing necessary to meet Kyoto targets was changing light bulbs, and getting a bus pass. Now, they're starting to wake up to the realities.
