Gripping about LED lighting costs.....

I just need to complain. Reading all the topics about LED, I think LED lighting is worth looking into and possibly even worth tearing apart the few incandescent lights I have on my TH in order to help lessen battery usage while boondocking. Most living area lights in my trailer are florescent, so I always thought that florescent was far better than incandescent. Even at that, maybe switching over to some lights to LED is a good idea, but wow..........LED lighting is freaking expensive. I dont understand why either except that its still "new" technology to the consumer world, and manufactures understand that people will still pay outrageous prices for an LED light. :h After seeing whats available and it entails to install, I quickly found out from most, if not all, websites that I could easily spend mucho buckaroos converting to LED. Remember when florescent lights were expensive?
Thanks for listening.....:B
