> Retrofitting existing infrastructure with LEDs makes no sense: we get wasteful, fragile and inefficient systems.
I wholeheartedly agree and would go even further and reimagine our current illumination concepts. At the moment we mostly have a few powerful point light sources. Given the longevity of LEDs we could easily design walls and furnitures with hundreds of less powerful LEDs that would produce a much more even illumination, have far less problems with head dissipation and be cheaper to produce than those high luminosity LEDs. And even more interesting, this would open the door to far more creative designs than we have now. With OLEDs you could even have glowing wallpapers: http://oled-werbedisplays.de/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/oled...
