bisquit476 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 In looking at the Ebay auctions, most are approximately $1.00 a bulb. You could almost get the replacement LED's for the same price. And have a lot more lights per LOR channel without overloading the controller.

Jerry Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I might add that not all LED retrofit bulbs are created equal. I've found some with only one led inside (not bright at all) , some with three leds , and some with five leds. Also, some have the rectifier inside the bulb, and some require an external rectifier. And as stated above , some you can dim ,and some you can't.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
