     writes:

    > These will never need replacing and only consume about 40 milliamps@ 3v.

    I bought a cluster of six "white" LEDs in a screw-in "bulb" and a cluster of
    nine "white" LEDs in a screw-in "bulb". They were about $40 each. Neither
    of them give enough light to read comfortably by and serve now as pale blue
    nightlights.

    I am very happy with the 7 watt 12 volt fluorescent.
