My thoughts, too. I have a fixture rated for three 40W miniature base
incandescents, presently loaded with three 40W Halogens. My
temptation is to go up to three 60W Halogens.

So you want to upgrade three 450 lm sources with three 750 lm sources.

I'm not sure exactly what you're after but maybe one of these would be
about right

There is a ship load of them and running them save you money.


So you are suggesting using three 240 lm sources instead, which does
not make much sense. Thus, the number of lamps would have to be
doubled or tripled, i.e. a new light fixture would be required.

It should be noted that "white" 6500-7000 K LEDs have a strong narrow
blue spectral line and some broadband yellow and red emission, not
very compatible with existing incandescent light bulbs in the room.


There are shot loads of LED lamps in all colors. If you don't like white,
then warm white. If these aren't bright enough then there are others, all
the way to 20 watt flood lamps.

Don't be a ******.
