LED replacement bulbs

[sgriggs]

I remember seeing a new product article about LED replacement bulbs recently. I thought I saw this in CTT, but I can't seem to find it now. I thought I remembered seeing mention of a company that carried LED replacements for standard bayonet and screw-in incandesent bulbs. Does anyone know what company sells these? Thanks.

Scott,
As chuckn posted, Scotts Odds N ends has what you are looking for. I think the price is a little above $6.00 each. I plan on ordering several, perhaps buying in bulk. Let us know how it goes.

Hi Scott,

6 USD each that is expensive!
The same LED bulbs are only 2,50 EURO each in a standard Dutch electronics shop. I would advise you to ask for it in a local shop which sells electronic parts. If that does not work, and if these LED-screw-bulbs are truely more expensive in the USA, I would consider starting an Ebay-LED-shop... ;-)
Over here the are sold in 8 colours: white-blue, yellow, red, blue, green, etc.

Go to Scots web site. They have both screw in and bayonet. Pricy but you'll likely never replace them. Good to deal with. In my judgment, I'd use LED's where temperature (they stay cool) or ease of replacement (because they last so long) is the decision criteria. I put one in my 30B transformer in the power on indicator lens because I kept melting the lens covers. I left the regular bulbs in the short indicators because they only illuminate when there is a short, and the system will be powered down.
Another alternative is to use 24volt bulbs. Cheap ( 50 cents) and although they do burn warmer than LEDs they are considerably cooler than 14 or 18 volts bulbs in the same application. I'm using 24 volts bulbs in interior lights and street lights. The glow is slightly dimmer.
