They aren't really quite there yet - I bought a few LED lamps to swap
out for halogen downlighters. The current crop is nowhere near bright
enough for general room lighting (they are fine for supplimental
lighting) unless you covered the ceiling with a huge array of them. They
are also a slightly odd colour - the white ones are really very pale
violet rather than white.

They will get there in the end though, but we're still a few years off
general purpose LED house lighting.
