replacing lights with LEDs
Could someone tell me how to make sure we buy the correct replacement LEDs for our current filament light bulbs? I do not know what to look for: bulb number? light fixture brand?... Thanks, Del

There are a number of sites on line that give "conversion tables" for incandescent or halogen lights to LED's and these tables range from good to very poor. There's no accurate way to convert a monochromatic directed light source (LED) to an incandescent or halogen light which is omnidirectional and has a wide spectrum light temperature. What we ended up doing was ordering one or two LED's of each type we needed and trying them. Brightness, color and the fixture they are installed in all combine to give a different look, and what is great for one person many times ends up unacceptable to others. Don't be in a hurry to get everything the first time. Try then buy. It took us 3 shots to get some replacements right in a 2008 Allegro Bus, but we ended up replacing about 100 bulbs.
