It's a new technology offering a lot of advantages so has high demand.
Since it is newer, it is not mass produced to the extend of other lighting options, so availability is not high.

So, high demand plus low quantity equals really high price. As more and more companies produce it and more consumers buy it, it will be more widely mass produced and costs will eventually come down.
