The price of high-intensity LEDs, while still high, has come down
considerably.  At least for certain LED colors (not "white"
unfortunately for my company).  In applications such as stop lights
where bulb failures can't be tolerate and there is a high cost to
replace a burnt out light it makes a great deal of sense.  Or if size is
a consideration.

I think we'll still have incandescent bulbs for a while yet.
