Bulb to LED light conversion

I have 11 double fixtures that contain 921 bulbs with the wedge base.
I would like to convert over to an LED type replacement light, but would like to drop the brightness down. I have clear lens and for the 921 bulbs I have read it puts out 265 lumen. Has anyone done a conversion from the 921 bulb? If so, what did you go with and did you go with an equivalent brightness or less? thanks, Tom

Go to m4products.com and look at their products. They have replacements for all, even fluorescents. Brightness varies too. Cool white and natural will give you different types of light. They have a very good descriptions as to what the different led types give you in lighting effects. This is one of many sellers out there but the one I used to convert my lights. For areas I thought were too bright, I just installed a dimmer that way I could set my lighting to a level that I wanted to have.


Thanks 1nshort, that is an excellent site and are USA made. I noticed a lot of the ones on Amazon are from China. 🙂

Thanks Dave and Jerry for your input and links. The 921 incandescent bulbs make me feel like I'm in surgery. I think they're way to bright and so does my wife.
Do you know Jerry which 921 replacement LEDs you went with? I may have to buy 1 set at a time to see.

I had some 921 incandescents. Replaced with 921 LEDs. Was very disappointed with how dim the 921 LEDs were. Here' a link for some comparisons I made back then. It looks like the 921s a the above Amazon link would be brighter than what I bought back then.
