Re: led bulbs
1. They are not all the same. Some are dimable and some are not. If, you want to dim them you may find that you need to replace your dimmers or you might find the bulb will flicker. You may also find it causes static in your radio. If, you like to dim your lights you might be surprised to find that while tungsten bulbs put out a warmer (yellow orange) light as you dim them the LED bulbs have a narrower ability to dim and the light color stays about the same.
2. I've ordered LED bulbs from EBAY sellers direct from CHINA. They are roughly half of what they cost in the US and shipping is FREE. BUT, first of all you will want to buy some extras. The light color varies from lot to lot. I've been using them for about 2 years. Had a high failure rate initially-like 1 in 10-the first week or so. After that, I've not had one fail in two years I've also read that the CE claim (European equivalent of UL) may not be true.
