As LEDs are slowly proliferating through the lighting industry, more form factors and formats of making them usable in existing fixtures are available. In addition to making the transition to LED more streamlined, these MR-16s function similarly to their halogen counterparts, by having focused beams. When I was in Europe for Winter break, I did see lots of LEDs being used, both in the residential area and in store displays. There seem to be a lot more options over there for consumer-oriented LED solutions as well. Phillips has all sorts of consumer LED color-mixing residential lamps and architectural lighting fixtures that make the technology more enticing every day.
This article makes a lot of sense: The M16 is a hugely popular lighting fixture in the commercial and architectural worlds and is often used as small accent lighting. The article laid out some really good points but I think the biggest hurdle for them to get over is achieving the full light spectrum. LEDs have gotten pretty good and pretty bright. but because M16 are used for merchandise displays the quality of light needs to be really good.
LED fixtures will soon become just standard, and I am so excited. The integrating of LED technology is slowly seeping into every conventional instrument and really just makes everything better. Low heat emissions, lower electricity bills, no lamp purchasing, general improvement in technology, and controllable color temperature (in some fixtures). I am so glad that LED technology is not as outrageously expensive as it was and is going to slowly become common in the industry.
