You could say that about any lightning source used anywhere. In general, a piece of wood is going to outlast and electrical device.

Right, but if e.g. it were fixtures with socketed bulbs they could be replaced.

I built large bookshelves last year (though not as cool as the posts) and didn't integrate lighting for this reason-- and it's really good that I didn't because it turned out the strip I was using at the time didn't last long.
