The problem with LED bulbs is they are constantly evolving. Today's products will be long gone tomorrow. If one ever goes out, you won't likely find a replacement unless you keep spares handy just in case.
I'm going to give LED strip lighting a try. The challenge with these is dimming them without getting a "flicker" effect. That can wreak havoc with cameras and filming equipment. It's not really noticeable to the eye though.
LED strip lights can eat a lot of current and they can get quite warm. Depending on the type of LEDs, they may require heat sinks. But, you can buy them by the reel (5 meters is standard) so there will be plenty leftover if replacements are ever needed.
