The market seems to have taken off in the last twelve months. This is a consumer viewpoint. Can't help with actual statistics I would try EU statistics as they seem to be more responsive to trends than UK which will take about 10 years to show through into published stats. There is probably a report by one of the market research firms but you will need deep pockets to go that route.

Again as a consumer, I would say waiting to take off once the right products are available at the right price, given the increase in energy cost is making a lot of consumers look at alternatives.

The current offerings seem poor:


Not enough lumen output.



Colour temperature wrong for domestic use.



Low voltage versions not suitable to use with existing transformers.


But it is slowly changing, I've noticed there are now some 5 watt LED GU10's available with 2700K colour temperature, which are a viable replacement for 35 watt halogens, albeit expensive.

I await developments with interest, as I was an early adopter of compact fluorescents in the late 1980's, indeed still have a few still working!

Great Fun! :)

Switch on your plasma ball and put the glass of the bulb (not the connector) onto the surface of the ball ----- ooooooooooooooh!

I know of someone that sold a UK LED domain name for thousands of pounds. From what I understand the business is buzzing
