LED's in the lighting field are a fairly new thing, the prices right now are through the roof companies wont be offering them for "normal" prices for quite some time i suspect. They'll want to make as much money off them as they can now while there considered to be "new and in demand" technology
Actually it all comes down to legal issues dealing with patents and "Intellectual Property" rights. Several companies are at war and the only real losers are all the consumers and other manufactures. Here is the latest update.

Super Vision Signs Three More LED Patent Licensees
November 29, 2004 10:00:00 AM ET

Super Vision International, Inc. SUPVA a world leading manufacturer of fiber optic lighting and LED lighting products announced today that it has signed an additional three more licensees to its Variable Color Lighting System patent and its Laidman technology portfolio. The three licensees are Element Labs of Austin, Texas, TPR Enterprises of Mamaroneck, New York and Shine Lighting of West Jordan, Utah.

Nils Thorjussen, Founder and President of Element Labs states, "I'd like to thank Brett Kingstone and Super Vision for taking the lead on this critically important matter and making the Belliveau patent and Laidman technology easily available to the industry. Their pledge to use all proceeds to fund ongoing legal costs demonstrates their genuine commitment to the protection of open markets. I strongly encourage other companies to join the LED Alliance and help support the cause. Super Vision is not a huge conglomerate with endless resources available to fund armies of lawyers. The more companies who participate, the more resources Super Vision will have to help reach a successful outcome. Joining the LED Alliance is a good investment in the future of our industry." Mr. Thorjussen was a previous co-founder of Flying Pig Systems, manufacturers of the award winning Wholehog Range of lighting control desks for automated lighting fixtures that has become a standard in the lighting industry. High End Systems, one of the America's largest entertainment lighting companies, purchased Flying Pig Systems in 1998.

Tom Fay, Founder and President of TPR Enterprises states, "LED Lighting as an industry and a technology is in its infancy. It would be a shame to see it stifled. I support Brett and Super Vision's efforts. I must say I am disappointed that I haven't seen more support of Super Vision's efforts from the major LED manufacturers who certainly stand to benefit from Super Vision's actions." TPR is the leading manufacturer of stage lighting products for the Broadway theaters in New York City and major touring companies throughout the United States.
