This is coming, but not quite yet.  The price would still be too high to
achieve the volumes necessary.  Note that LED lights are currently going
into applications where the cost of changing the bulb is very high, the
light gets switched on/off frequently, and the light is an indicator as
apposed to providing general illumination.

LEDs are getting cheaper and brighter.  Just give it time.
