Costco had a nice LED 120 volt fixture this week. $40 Canadian, 1800 lumens, 29 watts, round white glass fixture.

Of course half of the light is radiated upward and much of that is wasted. It looks to me like LEDs will make fluorescent tubes obsolete because the fluorescent fixtures have poor contacts and tubes burn out too quickly and are an environmental nuisance.
