treehugger.com — An example of an entire office building that has been converted to 100% LED light. The new bulbs consume 48% less energy than those they replaced. Also, air conditioning needs will be reduced in the summer, since the bulbs give off much less heat.

I read a while ago about a "blue light hazard", which some LEDs can be prone to when used for large scale lighting. Wonder if the people who installed those lights know about it.

But if you compare with CFL's then they probably cost more.

That's not really true... A building (supposing there's no window) can be heated as efficiently with light bulbs as any other heating system.

It's been a year and a half since this article was posted, like bdbElysian I wonder how many of these offices have converted to energy efficient bulbs <a class="user" href="http://www.offices.net">http://www.offices.net</a>
