On Tuesday, Braemar Energy Ventures raised its bet on lighting with a $10 million investment in Hawthorne, Calif.-based Fulham Inc., a 7-year-old company that makes components for fluorescent lights, high-intensity lights and light-emitting diodes.

There are very few parts of America where a $0.23 per kwh rate is in effect. The US average is $0.095 (loaded, with T&D charges), or about 40% of the price used in this lighting comparison chart. And, the $54.95 for buying a single LED is quite extreme, roughly double (+) what I see out there.

Also, might want to mention that the latest Energy Bill has changed the game when it comes to lighting options.

CFLs (like regular fluorescents) give me headaches and my wife migraines.

Do you know if there are any recycling issues with LEDs like there with CFLs? The big fear is that people will adopt CFLs and not understand that they contain mercury (or at least that is what I’ve read).
