LED Bulbs
Thinking of converting interior bulbs to LED's. Any recommendations?

Thanks Ron. Very interesting.
I was wondering how the new 3014 LEDs compared to the old 3528 and 5050 LEDs. It seems the new LEDs draw more current but are substantially brighter than the 3528s.
One thing I have in the back of my mind. It takes but a minute to cut a 3-LED circuit off each strip while installed in the fixtures. If done, in our case the lights would actually be more balanced to the fixture with darker sides and lit centers. So later, if my wife and I jointly agree that the fixtures are just too bright, I could get it done one 3-LED segment at a time quite uneventfully, even during a trip. Very easy to take away but work to add. With every 3-LED circuit removed, the power will drop by about 1/3 of a watt.
