Just remember that, when it goes out, you have to replace the entire fixture. They're getting less expensive but are still more than a simple bulb, and replacing it may require an electrician in some areas (at least, replacing it legally). At some point the mounting and a user-serviceable connection should be standardized, which should fix that problem.

You might want to stick a surge suppressor in your breaker panel if you've got a few of these in the house to help protect them.

We don't get enough lightning in these areas to give the surge suppressors a workout, but it also probably wouldn't be a huge deal to drop a MOV across the lighting circuit...

I don't know what the lifespan of the panel is, but I figure that by the time we have to replace it technology will have gone even further forward.

And I also haven't hooked up a dimmer to it yet, but it's dimmable (uses a 10v dimmer); we may put these in other rooms, where we'll probably want to dim them.
