Not that I approve of their move, I've heard of the problems of CFLs (how do you dispose of so much mercury safetly without it getting into the environment?), but LEDs are well on their way to being the market competition and they will still be forced to compete in the very near future. Though honestly I don't see how they will be able to compete once LEDs go mainstream. Don't throw away your shades too soon.
