I've been reading about using LED's to replace aquarium lights for a couple of years. Apparently, someone in Europe (Germany?) has been experimenting with it pretty heavily. One trial hood I saw had what appeared to be hundreds of blue & white LED's in it. The lighting appeared to be outstanding, but there were quite a few "kinks" to be worked out before it could be mass marketed. It's a great idea if it can be done right. Lower electrical consumption, little to no heat generated, custom "color-tuning" of the color temps to suit your particular need/want. We'll see how this pans out.
