It seems like this could have a positive impact on home generation/storage by taking invertors out of the loop...

The 1985 LED I had used was a socket exact replacement for a 24V AC lamp. IOW the LED assembly includes current regulator and retifier - and so reduced heat generation that lamp fixtures never again needed replacement even 15 years later. IOW LED replacements for AC power are standard in all those CA traffic lights that previously used 120V 60 and 100 watt incadescent light bulbs.
