I built LEDs into the ceiling of my family room when the house was built 5
years ago. Ceiling is up about 25 feet, never wanted to have to get up
there. It will take scaffolding if it ever becomes necessary. Have changed
out almost all the rest too as the CFLs have died.
I have 10 kW of grid tie solar as well. Free air conditioning is nice
indeed.
Good luck with phillips flood style LEDs and CREE bulb types. Most of them
are dimmable now, that was the case for the earlier units.
Home depot has very nice prices. Some 60 watt equivalent for about $7.50.
I actually had to pay a bit more to get 40 watt equivalent for the sconce
lighting in my theater room. The first ones were too bright, even with the
dimmer all the way down.
Yes, by all means use LEDs.

Anyone using LED replacement bulbs in their house yet?
Seems like a good idea for a couple lights I have that burn 24/7, but at
$20/bulb and the CFL debacle, I want to get this right the first time.
