More on LED lighting...

So after reading those documents it is important to note that LED lighting uses similar energy to fluorescent lighting, and the reason they are lower in heat output is that they typically radiate their heat up into the celling or wall (which is bad if it is an insulated space). So I don't know if LEDs deserve a green rating (one wonders what hurts the planet more LED manufacturing or Compact Fluorescent?). What I am really interested in is the colur changing capabilities of these lights. How cool would it be if at a dinner party you changed the lights subtly in the living room to cool and at the dinner table to warm to get folks to gravitate to the table? Gotta look for a fixture that lets me do that!
