I replaced all of the flood lights with 'standard' LED lamps from Lowes (about $12 each). These are much brighter then the original 130 volt incandescent bulbs, and much cheaper then the "flood" LED lamps. By the way if you compare packing, the flood lights are NOT as bright as the normal table lamp bulbs that I used. These have been in for several weeks so far, with no negative effects. I also used these same bulbs in all of the hanging fixtures, with the same results, lots more light. We now regularly have the LEDs dimmed.
Hope this helps.
