Suggest an LED bulb for me?

[Naio]

I'm overwhelmed by the choices.

I need one that fits in a standard S&B house socket (not RV). I like a yellowish light, brightness equivalent to 75 or 100w incandescent. LEDs don't get too hot, do they?

Thanks :).

The actual LED bulb doesn't get very hot, but the heatsink will get really hot. We use several and they get pretty darned warm.

Sounds like you want a warm white, and about 12-1500 lumens. You can't go by wattage, you need to compare actual light output. A 60 watt incandescent light puts out about 850 lumens.

12 vdc or 120 vac? Home Depot has many household 120 vac medium base LED modules.

I have used this bulb for a couple years in our home and have been pleased with it.
A19 LED house bulb
This bulb is white, not warm white, but I have been comfortable with it for reading. It runs quite cool....barely warm to the touch.
The company is excellent to deal with. I would suggest you contact them to ask if they have a warm white version of the A19 bulb.

Look for an 18-watt ACTUAL CONSUMPTION LED bulb. The problem is the heat sinking of high wattage LEDs. A light bulb globe has little if any heat dispersion radiating area or ability. LEDs hate heat. I've been looking at flat panel replacements. Good headroom, and illumination dispersion to minimize shadows. Slap one over top a bulb base hole.

LED's stay cool...at least much cooler than incandescent bulbs.
I like soft white LED's. Available at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.
