Does everyone think that LEDs will take over from tungsten. If not then why?

sorry and macks Alexandros. From my research, the CRI does not seem to matter because sputniks have a lower CRI value but have a better colour render because they have looked at what the CMOS sensor of cameras pick up and only output that, unlike other units which may have a higher CRI but miss a lot of the spectrum out which means if part of the spectrum is not given out by the light then it will not be able to reflect back and there for that colour will not appear in you're image. Attached are some spectrums.

thanks very much JD. How do you think it affects the set atmosphere? such as a working environment for actors that is not cluttered and hot, the speed of adjustments such as not needing to compensate with CTB when dimming tungsten and do you think it will make the world of lighting more accessible to people lower down the chain who cannot necessarily afford generators and sparks need to run cables etc?

Hi All I am a Uni student studying film and working as a spark and gaffer on low budget productions in London and was wondering if you might be able to help me out with my dissertation. I am doing it on LED vs tungsten and the effects on the industry, changes to the working environment compared to tungsten and the more technical sides of LEDs. Many thanks in advance Peter
