Default Ikea switching to all LED lighting products by 2016

I was leafing through the new Ikea catalog, and found this statement:

Quote:
By 2016, we'll switch all of the lamps and lightbulbs we sell to LED. LED uses up to 85% less energy and lasts up to 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
This should have a very favorable effect on the price of LED lighting. Since Ikea sells so many units, the effect on economy of scale will be to help drive LED prices down to commodity price levels, on a very wide scale.


A visit to Ikea yesterday revealed a growing selection of attractive LED lamps and bulbs. But the miracle of commodity price levels on LED light bulbs has not come to Ikea yet.

Best,

-AC
