There's quick pay-off when you replace an incandescent light with identical-looking halogen-hybrid bulbs from Philips or GE using 72 watts to produce 100 watts of light. But the pay-back period for LED lights is still around 16 years, assuming the LED light is still operating 16 years later.

I believe the supply side wanted to create mass market, move volumes, prices go down, needed to produce LED lighting for AC power which is widely available. From 2030 onwards, (my crystal ball shows) households become electricity prosumer (producer and consumer). Collect electricity using solar panels, store in battery distribute DC power. Governments from now on, have so much quantitative easing -and soon helicopter money- to do to promote economic production that they will be using all the free money to improve technologies and foster developments. Example: Why electric cars? Because the advanced countries have a monopoly in the components for these vehicles and want to keep the auto industry in their hands and employing robotics and not let it migrate to China.
