That is the main focus for Led lighting Mfgs.Other concepts have an array of practical challenges,
Oled lighting schemes are in their infancy but will become more viable by 2013-2017.
As a longtime SSL advocate and industry insider (MFG Rep) I am sure developements that don't include
e 26 or e 12 bases are possible but probably won't get much if any market share. ]]> http://ledsreview.com/blogs/editors/25.php?commentId=7#7 http://ledsreview.com/blogs/editors/25.php?commentId=7#7 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 20:27:02 -0700
If 2009 was the watershed moment for LED performance, 2010 looks to be the breakout year for the emergence of real LED socket/module integration, which will expand rapidly as more players toss in their hat - looking to be the Edison socket of SSL. The dust will take a few years to settle, finishing with ANSI, IEEE, and the like getting involved to set open standards based on the best of the best that emerge.

In the long haul, the majority of LED products will need to include integration of a replaceable light source component. The initial concept of creating all luminaires as replaceable throw-away hardware is just not being embraced by building owners, facilities managers, or lighting decision makers.

That said, there may be some product categories where the luminaire has a short life, like landscape products that get killed by lawn mowers and weed whackers before the LEDs fail, these are the exception in the global scheme of lighting. There is also the issue of driver and electronic system life to be addressed, that modular architectures make easier to deal with.
