Sam's club has some replacement bulbs that are LED

Anyone tried or using such lighting?

I've been using LED flashlights for 4 years now. Like them a lot. My
incandesent lamp supply is still going strong and will probably last
several years before I consider LED or flourescent. I have one bulb
that is over 30 years old and still burning.


I have an LED headlight and tail light array on my bicycle.
They are bright at night.



The Lowe's 3W flashlight with the Cree LED is the shiznit, too. Some
people actually do use them as bike lights; they work better than many
purpose made lights. I found some replacement collimators for them that
turn the beam into a broad, narrow band rather than a spot type beam,
that makes them even better.

Had to look up your slang and disagree. I hunt and have several led
flashlights and the Lowe's is the best for casting a beam and finding my
way in the dark. At $30 it is very cheap compared to similar others.

The multi led's are practically useless except for close work. I bought
a 12 led lantern and it's not even bright enough to read by.
