Very cool... if I ever move out to somewhere not swamped in light pollution (e.g. back home to good ol' Michigan), I'll consider one of those.

I've considered building my own homebrew LED-based lighting before, after taking a few electronics courses, but I've been really frustrated with information on available LEDs. It seems there aren't many places willing to sell ultra-bright white LEDs in small quantities for hobbyists. Does anyone have good sources? Also, the intensity ratings on some sites seem to be downright misleading. :-/
