The pictures looks so great!, i just tested the leds in my house too, i buy some t8 led lamps of www.mexled.com and trust me they bright more than the normal fluresnt ones, well... the difference i guess is the kind of light, i mean, like these examples you post of the swiss market, the leds are useful for directional lighting, we are going to become a led world lighted in some years, i think we just started...

Good article !
