if only it were as easy as replacing pot lights.

I'm looking to replace normal E27 medium base light bulbs. I've seen some at deals extreme from $5-15 a pop for a 3 watt solution.

I'll probably get one and try it out.

Cheers,
Vic

A19 is the standard incandescent light bulb that most refer to as a "regular standard" light bulb
an A19 bulb is 2.375 inches wide, an E27 is 3.375 inches wide, at the widest spot.

Most of the LED replacement bulbs are E27. I've only come across 2-3 A19 sizes.

rona carries 2 types of e27 which i have been using-spot and vanity-both are good-you can also get them on ebay-but it is better to get the cree e27-you can also ask the company to make the lights with different bases(gu10,e27.m11 etc)
