This is from a magazine called Technology Review. It is published by MIT but the writers are hired tech writers, not science/engineering researchers at MIT.
"LEDS are still too expensive to challenge your average GE soft white. On sale at the local discount store, 100-watt incandescent light bulbs run about a dollar for a package of four and deliver 1500 lumens of illumination a piece. " I cannot make an LED that gives you 1500 lumens for 25 cents," says Roland Haitz, research and development manager of the semiconductor product group at Agilent. He predicts that in a few years his group will be able to make a 1500 lumen LED that could sell for $150. He doubts that the average homeowner will be rushing out to buy such a product."
