I was impressed too as well but when i finally went camping off the power grid and started using my HDTV and other radios I noticed i was getting RFI interference from the LED lights. It was so bad it would totally blank the HDTV when I had it on. Turn off the LEDs and everything jumps back to life.
My fix was to use some CHEAP EBAY/CHINA NON-REGULATED LEDS just for the times when we are camping off the power grid...
When camping with cable connections the HDTV signals are so strong it doesnt get bothered by the small RFI signals comeing from the the regulated type LEDs. I do still get bothered with with NOAH WX Alert radio when at shore power places but is liveable - I usually can move things around to get it working all the time.
This low level RFI is a known problem with all the LED manufacturers or regulated type LED lights and is within the FCC rules so we have to live with it until FCC does something about it...
just passing on in case you start worrying about your HDTV blanking out when you are using the OTA antenna when trying to watch the local towns digital Natlional Broadcast stations..
Some folks are not bothered by this but alot of us are...
