Seems LED lighting can't quite replace conventional home lighting but it's starting to be a reasonable alternative for outdoor lighting (think security) and at 2 watts, instant-on, long life, ability to turn on and off without degrading the bulb life it's clearly the lighting of the future.

I am particularly interested in the kerosene types but am wondering if certain types use less kerosene that others, are some better shielded from the wind if you needed to go outside with it, etc. Pros and cons. Ideas and links for buying them?
How about wind up lighting other than a flashlight?
