Quite impressed by the relatively new COB (chip on board) LED technology. Here a myriad of tiny basic LED chips are molded and connected into a single unit to provide a uniform solid block of concentrated light. No more of the slightly ugly individual elements that provide that patterned light. Just bought a rechargeable inspection light using such.
I have a gut feeling they may consume a little more power per lumen of light, but given meagre power consumption of LED's in general this would be a small price to pay for much improved light.
If I was upgrading lights on my car I would be tempted to wait until the dedicated format COB LED's become available.
