OP, go to a toy store or doll house forum and ask about replacement
bulbs.

Craft stores might be even better than toy stores learning about
building and refurbishing doll houses. * At least some of them.

Michaels probably carried some basic miniature lighting gear, but there
are loads of online sources with all manner of transformers, wiring,
sockets, fixtures, etc. *Don't need to be an electrician to install it.

If it was doable, refurbishing an old dollhouse, I would update it with
more modern trans. and wiring...for safety as well as aethetic.

What is the safety issue? * The little bulbs don't get very hot.

I have radios going back to the 1930's and their transformers, cords,
and internal wiring are in excellent shape. * The only thing that
wears out is the capacitors, which a doll house won't have.

Aesthetic is a matter of taste, of coures, but I would like to keep it
original, and also no one I know uses LEDs for lighting.

Well, you don't know me,

Not very well, but you still count. * So I know one person who does.

but I just installed 7 9 watt CREE LED
replacement lamps in my office track-lights - 110 volt GU10 base
"reflector floods" The 9 watt units are brighter than the 50 watt
Halogens they replaced.

I'm looking at replacing ALL of the crappy CFL bulbs with LEDs in the
house in the near future

Aren't they still expensive?

Depends what you call expensive and where you buy them. The loacal
HomeDespot wants $23 each for them. I imported mine directly from Hong
Kong for *$11.80 each, delivered to the door, Quantity 10. And that is
the "dimmable" 85-240 volt model, *The straight 110 volt non-dimmables
can be had for about $9.00 each. *Priced 50 watt *GU10s lately??





Also look he
http://www.mouser.com/Optoelectronic.../_/N-5g6p/*and the
links there.
http://www.mouser.com/Optoelectronic...amps/_/N-5g6r/
has a way to search by base, size, etc.

I don't think any of these are small enough

I'm looking for 100 W equivalent LED A19 style bulbs with decent color
rendition that are dimmable for a dining room chandelier. Oh, yes, I
shouldn't have to cash in my 401 to pay for them.
