Replacement LED light Fixtures -

Ok,

10+ years ago I bought a bunch of the SMD LED replacement light "bulbs". They have been relatively dependable but they are starting to Fail.

As I'm doing a complete renovation of the 5er - and I'm coming to the end (finally after a year +) we (DW and I) are looking to replace the fixtures with Black (he design motif is using the rubbed bronze look so it's almost black anyway).

I've done a big of searching and what I'm finding is similar to what I've already got - SMD LED boards in the fixtures.

What I'd like is much brighter LED's that what I have from 10 years ago.

Any suggestions on:

Replacement fixtures (Where the lumens are posted)?

The incandescent bulbs (I believe) put out about 210 lumens (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please).
The latest and greatest replacement bulbs are 360 Lumens (again, correct me if I'm wrong).
New Fixtures are what lumenosity?

Thanks in advance!

Paint your current fixtures to match.

Krylon makes a paint specially designed to stick to plastics called "Fusion".. Works like a champ.

You can also use Fusion paint to act as a "primer" for other paints so you can really customize the result.

A typical 20W halogen bulb will typically have 250-280 Lumens of brightness. A non halogen 20W bulb (standard) will be under 250 lumens.

LED replacements are not so cut and dry, and often ones rated as 20W "equivalent" will range from 170 Lumens (2W LED)to 350 Lumens (3W LED)..

So, you have to be careful when selecting..
