More proof that incandescent light bulbs are going bye bye

Prediction: LEDs will replace all the light bulbs in your house by 2010.
Your energy bills will go down by 30% because your A/C won't have to fight the heat generated by the hundreds of bulbs in your house.
But to me this quantum dot thing is just an optimization of the LED really. Plus this shows 3 problems - 1) how do you make quantum dots easily, 2) do I have to have a laser in every bulb?, and 3) what happens when my baby eats one of these bulbs?
