LED lights

The choice of panels or cobs depends in part on your light fixtures. The panels direct most of the light down but if you have frosted lenses, the light will be somewhat diffused. In my case I found that the panels were diffused enough for most of my lighting. I used cobs where I wanted more diffused light. If your lenses are not frosted you might prefer cobs.

I replaced mine with 36-1210 panels and 18-5050 cob style warm white LED lights. They are close to the same brightness as the original 1141 bulbs. I bought them from 2011_led on eBay.

I got mine on Ebay from 2011_led .

thanks for the info- can you tell me the name of the vendors?

thanks

I just replaced all my old bulbs with new bayonet base led's, total of 16. I got them from Ebay, two packs of 10 for a little over $40 including shipping. They put out less light than the incandescents but no heat and it's adequate for us. I think the warm ones (mine) put out a little less light but are more pleasant. They're almost all from China anyway so it doesn't really matter. I could have stayed under $40 if I bought from China directly but I paid a few bucks more to get from a SoCal vendor. All I have left now are 2 flourescents in the ceiling but I don't use them much so prob won't replace.

Flat panels give a more directional light, round or "cob"-style LED's throw a wider arc of light.
I went with warm white flat panels and am happy with them.

I prefer the round ones because I have a reflector in the top of the light fixture. They work best for me. My source is Amazon. Make sure you search for "warm" lights unless you like harsh white lighting that looks very blue.
