Not ready for prime time, bring on LEDs !

No doubt!!! I put in some LED undercounter lights in about a year ago, but they just died. I didn't have a kill-a-watt at the time so I don't know how much power they comsumed, but they had 20 LED's. I replaced them with little 14" T5 flouresant bulbs which consume 14 watts each. I didn't like their light so I bought some GE LEDs which have 4 LEDs each, are just as bright as the flouresant (unfortunately), light up immediately, and only consume 5 watts!
I think LED is going to be the way to go.
