LED'S only good for 40W and less?

sandimaurer
I have been in correspondence with a local eco "green" journalist who has recently been promoting CFL's.
I sent her info, including the "Rays of Rash" video. The following is her response and I wondered if what she says about the lower wattages is true? I'd like to get her the most accurate information.

"From what I can tell, LEDs are best for lower wattages - say 40W and below- and have limited availability - I can't find them in most stores - and are still pretty expensive ($13 at Ace for a 40W bulb) - so I feel they're good for some applications but don't replace all purposes yet."

If anyone knows about this please let me know. Thanks, Sandi

I've seen them 3 for $15 (Sam's club) but they are not even 40w, more like
15w (but use 1.5 w).

my local LIDL store is selleing a portable 160 led light for £30 and this  
only uses 15watts ! I bet its bright enough to light up a small living room.
