What works in favour of the white LEDs is that everybody has been
working _real_ hard to get their output _way_ up. For the other colors,
the pressure for more light isn't that intense.
Although by now the LED light output in general is high enough that they
are used in traffic lights (a lot of the traffic lights around here
(Zurich) use LEDs).

White LEDs have become one of the most efficient
light sources.
Is that really true? I would have suspected that red LEDs would be
far more efficient in terms of lumens-per-watt. The drawback being
that they're monochromatic.
