In my new build, lighting will all be LED, run from DC.
The inverter

Yes, I think you can do much better making your own LED
setups than buying commercial.
I have been using 102 Lm/W Cree LEDs from Digi-Key. Not
super cheap, but at the time they were the best efficiency.
Probably you can get even better today. I'm still on-grid,
and was VERY happy with a massive reduction in electricity
consumption with these. I've finally replaced all 3
fluorescent tube fixtures in our kitchen, which get a LOT of
use. Went from 103 W (read by a real Wattmeter) down to 21
W, and about the same light output.
