Your negativity amazes me.
People nowadays tends to forget the fact that Rome was not built in a day, and even Himalaya can be conquered by take one small step at a time. Look at the brighter side, it's better than no improvement at all. And it is a friendly approach to ease the burden for our mother nature.]]>Jan 14th 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/researchers-develop-higher-efficiency-leds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/researchers-develop-higher-efficiency-leds/Jan 14th 2009 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/researchers-develop-higher-efficiency-leds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/researchers-develop-higher-efficiency-leds/

If the 22% efficiency improvements are genuinely applicable then this would move efficiency of LEDs closer to the efficiency of CFLs. (According to Wikipedia, on average in 2008 CFL lamps are twice as efficient as LED lamps; so there's still a way to go. I don't know what a best-to-best comparison looks like, however.)

In other words there isn't a particular environmental implication to this technology in lighting, since if you want something 22% more efficient than an LED light you can plug in a cheap CFL right now and get a lot more into the bargain. But in terms of making it more feasible to move lighting technology to LEDs which might be more flexible in various ways, it's a positive development.
