Costco had some dimmable CFL's when I was walking through this weekend, but I didn't stop to read the fine print.


LEDs will be getting brighter and cheaper. The sporting goods stores (REI for us Americans) stock them for camper's headlamps. Costco sells them inexpensively as nightlights.
They are showing up as dash lights and rear light / turn indicator lights on vehicles. And as I mentioned above they are being tried out as street lights in my own humble town.
