Default Converting a Lantern from bulb to LED

Ah! That's a 1-watt Luxeon. I think the OP might like a 3-watt
better in a 4-Dcell lantern. I would also go with a Lambertian
highdome Luxeon rather than the sideshooter the EverLed uses. The
sideshooters are fragile, and they don't produce as uniform a beam
unless a faceted reflector is used.

I have a number of bulb lanterns (6v - 4 D cells) that I would like to
convert from bulbs to LEDs.

Is there a convenient LED conversion adapter available for this type of
conversion?

If not, what would you recommend for the suitable LEDs and driving
circuitry.

Presently the lanterns are able to be dimmed by an external dimming
control which is a feature I would like to retain.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have to offer.
