Gallium Nitride - Light (Emitting Diode) at the end of tunnel - How green is this?

Recently read an article on InsideTech website about A Gallium Nitride LED that gives out white light, has no lighting lag, has no seizure causing flicker and is commercially viable as an alternative to the mainstream lighting. Looks like some has developed a fix all. Sincerely I hope it is. But since I am a layman and so, hope some one definitely gave it a thought. I was wondering about this thing.
Presuming a small working voltage (DC) for an LED what would be the "Energy Star Compliant/Green/loss less" Interface/Adapter that the manufacturer and/or the developers are suggesting to make it viable for the markets with out a major over haul to the distribution system and/or the existing lighting fixtures leading to "Zero" or "Minimal" "non-recyclable" scrap generation.
