LED Light Fixtures for the Home?

HBergeron writes "Despite some exhautive searching I have able to find very little about LED based light fixtures for the home. There are some in marine use, and a spare handful of others come up on a Google search but from all I have read on Slashdot I have to believe there are more out there. I am in the final stages of a home remodel and would very much like to use 'the lighting source of the future' (tm) in a number of places. For one, the bedroom, LEDs could make a nice bedside sconce/reading light, and a red/white option could be just the like for those late night stumbling across the room expeditions. A vanity light seems like another good place. Not to mention energy and bulb replacement savings." While these may not be economical for most people, I'm sure there are a few folks out there who have put these new lights to the test. How well did they stack up to the use of traditional filament lights?

    People stereotype engineers and computer scientist as poor communicators. We commonly are not very proficient writers because the majority of our skills revolve around our analytical abilities. This is yet another classic example of grammar mistakes in a Slashdot post. I know that this site is most a casual thing, but let's try a little harder to do away with the stereotype.

    "I have able to find"
    Should have been:
    "I have been able to find"

      "I know that this site is *a* most casual thing"

      You would think he would have done a grammar check...

      Ok so I made a grammar mistake in my post, I guess I leave myself open to scrutiny on my grammar instead of comments related to topic I actully commentened on. Sorry I'll try to do a better job myself because I guess I'm not helping either.Ok, so I made a grammar mistake in my post. I guess I leave myself open to scrutiny on my grammar instead of getting comments related to the topic I was actually commentating on. Someone always has to better another, grammar in this case. Sorry, I'll try to do a better job myself because I'm not helping the stereotype either with that last post.

      Hey, whatever you're on, give me some... Please?

      I mean, come on. I can't tell if the post I'm replying to is supposed to be funny, or if it's just really sad...
