When LEDs come into mass production, to the extent of CFLs, that will
fix the cost effectiveness ... a good LED consumes 50% the power of a
CFL, or better ... this efficiency is not as advanced as it will be in
the future.

There seems to be a surge in LED usage lately, mostly in cars and
traffic lights. I do like LEDs. They literally stay cool. But
expensive,for now.

Saves in the size of the Copper Wiring and
Reduces the Weight of the Car/Truck :
Because the LED uses less Current for
the same 12 VDC then the equivalent
Lumen's Rated Incandescent Bulbs.
