It is true, that there are still many lamps with traditional separation between lamp and light using a standardized connector.
However the trend shows that flexibility of directly building in long living LEDs is increasing.
Out of curiosity I was just searching for desk lamps on Amazon and first two pages were all LED-bases, which makes sense, since those are all design elements (sometimes of better, sometimes worse designs) where LED gives lot's of freedom.
Looking for ceiling lights gives a few classic connectors, but also lots of LED.
(This might be accelerated since I'm in EU, which banned classic lightbulbs for energy reasons ... over alternatives which are a waste issue)
