I am currently thinking of doing the same thing....changing my lamp post to an LED bulb.

The exterior of my home is gray, so I like the cooler color of an LED light. I just replaced my address light with an LED one and the look is very nice. I now want my lamp post to match.

I've read that if you use an LED with a color rating of less then 3000k, like a 2700k that bugs do not "see" it, so they are not attracted to this light and the lamp post will not get all "buggy".

If this is true, I will also use these LED lights in the surface mounted fixtures on either side of the garage doors.....
