Yeah, what John said...

The industry is movie is very fast. It takes 9-12 months to get product to concept to production. The light modules are already obsolete. Unless you buy spare modules and drivers with the lights, chances are, you will be replacing the whole light if a module or driver dies a premature death. That can be an issue if the style of light is no longer availble. That's straight from the manufacturer mouth.

There are more and more styles however you are limited on lumen output options so pending on you lighting requirements and mounting height can be difficult.

Unlike MH and HPS, you can't pick a light solely on wattage and mounting height. To do a good job require home work and calculating. Reason being an LED light is made up of multiple little lights that can be focused in any configuration the light designer. There's an LED flash light that hold the world record for a focus beam of 1.6 miles with no halo.

Replacement LED bulbs can be an issue without proper ventilation. In addition replacement LED bulbs for all HID lights may require rewiring or bypassed, or will run on existing ballasts. Choose wisely.

Overall LED has great potential however the book has been rewritten on design and application.
