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

I try my best to support products made at home but when it comes to LED bulbs I've been buying on ebay from China. I don't know of any except those made in Taiwan and China. I refuse to pay 400% profit to those who import them.
There's no standard in light output, or at least I haven't seen it yet. I've bought several claimed by the seller to be "equivelent" but they weren't.
I've bought several different types with different bases, different color temperatures, and different quantities of LEDs. I've found a vendor that has one that, to my eye, is equivalent to the bulbs that were in my AF TC. They are #ll56s with 68 warm white (3700 K) LEDs and cost about $1.80 in TC quantities.
I'm still experimenting with T10 base bulbs (more on order). I put them in my previous TC and 5th W. They were bright white (6500 K) bulbs and just didn't feel right.
I don't have the info right now (I,m at work) but will address it again tonight.
