It's an idea whose time has (almost) come. The idea of being able to tailor the color temperature, or to sample light and reproduce it instantly in the studio, is something that's only possible with a light source like an LED array.
Currently, it's a very expensive solution, especially if you need multiple units to provide the amount of light required. The upside is, the lifetime of the units should be tremendously long, as long as they have paid attention to how they are driving the LEDs.
The system looks very well thought-through. I suspect we will be seeing more of this type of thing in the coming years.
