LED upgrade
I took the plunge and updated several of my incandescent bulbs to LEDs. I didn't do anything with my fluorescent fixtures because they are quite efficient already. I purchased 14 of the circuit board ...

The LED bulb you reference is rated 150 lumens and is cool white which means a lot less light and it would have a bluish tinge. I think you would be better served with the panel type LEDs like the ones I used. The ones I bought did not come with an adapter for an 1156 type bulb. You can either look for ones with the proper adapter or do like I did for one of my fixtures and break a bulb and solder wires to the base. White and cool white LEDs will put out slightly more light than warm white but the difference is not all that great.
TomM, I take it the White is brighter/clearer than the Warm White, right? My lights look similar to THESE except with 1156 bulbs. Maybe I need something like THIS.
Thanks
Here's a couple links to LEDs from the same outfit I used:
Warm white 24x5050
White 24x5050
