We are working on replacing all the lights in our new house with LEDs. Our first was the front lamp post light bulbs and bathroom fixtures, and then we replaced every flood light in the house and lanai with bright bulbs. The LED bulbs come in dimmable and non-dimmable, in different colors (i.e. warm, cool, daylight) and the lumens number is the brightness. (The higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb light.) They are easy to compare, they save energy, last forever, and don't put out the same heat (as the old style standard bulbs).

We are just at a loss as to why you need to go to the expense of replacing the whole fixture when you can get the equivalent of 100W dimmable flood light bulbs (that fill up the eyeball fixture) for about $10+/- apiece.
