Roman, you might want to look at:

http://www.philips.com/themes/led/

They are thinking it might be practical for general lighting in ~5 years,
not bad IMHO. As they say, the best of the white LEDs are now more
efficient than ordinary incandescents, so it boils down to further
improvments in efficiency (hopefully to surpass flourescents) and reducing
the cost.

Best regards,
