As a side comment, the plethora of bulb types is a nightmare. We have
some fittings which we especially like in a couple of rooms which are
designed for golf ball 40W conventional bulbs. Weve had them about 20
years but they are perfect for the rooms they are in etc and have
dimmers. Try as I might, I cant find dimmable LED replacements which
have a true equivalent light output. Ones with a lower output yes but
not true equivalent.


It is a real problem with LEDs. Where you actually see the bulbs. Trying
to find ones which look as good as the tungsten type.


Hmm, I've mixed views on that. I've replaced some bulbs with LED ones
and the general shape etc is much the same- at least in for the higher
wattage ones. Some of the decorative / mood lighting LEDs look quite
good, if you like that kind of thing.
