It already is. Retailers just have to take the bulbs/tubes/whatever to sale. The prices ARE steeper than 'normal' lights, but the energy saved with LED's will be very visible in the electric bill, and they should pay themselves back within 1 year (expected usage time for a good LED light is between 50 and 70 000 hours).
I know way too much about LED's, I really really do. But won't bore any of you.
