AC vs DC LED Technology, which will win out long term?

Were you able to make it to Tuesday's presentation (slides here) by Bob Kottritsch, Vice President of Lynk Labs Inc.? Bob certainly presented an excellent summary of how lighting technology has evolved, starting at 70,000 BC! He then really got into the detail behind LEDs and how they themselves are evolving. However, were you convinced by the arguements for a shift to AC, rather than the typical DC, for powering LEDs? 



Comments on the topic in general are also very welcome. Would you like to see more events of a similar theme, or do you have suggetions of topics you like to see covered in future seasons?

    Not sure the video answered the question, unless everything with a Lynk Labs label is AC . .But I suppose the technology is not the issue, it is functionality, performance and reliability per cost that matters.  And I assume we have to wait a while yet for cheap, 'warm' and dimmable, long-life BC LED light bulbs.
